CleanMyMac 2 [Sponsor]

CleanMyMac 2 makes space for the things you love. Sporting a range of ingenious features, CleanMyMac 2 lets you safely and intelligently scan and clean your entire Mac with just one click.

CleanMyMac 2 clears out more than just system junk – including large files you’ve forgotten about or haven’t opened in a while such as movies, dot-dmg files, and unpacked archives. It even reduces the size of your iPhoto library to help track down those hidden modified copies of your photos and lets you remove them.

What about apps you don’t use anymore? Their uninstaller makes it easy to do a complete uninstall on those apps you don’t need or that are no longer compatible with your Mac. It also identifies those annoying leftovers of previously removed applications.

CleanMyMac 2 uses a set of rules and exceptions to properly clean up junk files without doing any harm to the user’s system. It’s called Safety Database and they’ve been building this for over 5 years! CleanMyMac 2 stands out among all other cleaning apps by making it safe to clean up your Mac. It’s just the best app for cleaning up your Mac.

For MacStories readers, MacPaw is offering a 30% off discount. You can buy CleanMyMac 2 by visiting macpaw.com/macstories.
