![]() ![]() But before the blog is all about new operating systems and possibly new products from Apple for days, there are two more newsreel issues with the normal madness from the Apple and tech world. In addition, it is not commercial and - in contrast to CleanMyMac and DaisyDisk - is available for free. I haven't been able to try Disk Inventory yet, but it has been recommended on various websites. You can then look at these one by one and, if necessary, mark them for deletion and then start the big cleaning. ![]() With just one click, CleanMyMac saves me over 16 GB of hard drive space - it couldn't be better.ĭaisyDisk is a nice addition to this, as you can see the hard drive's memory usage graphically and quickly see where large folders and files take up space. The good thing about it: After removing it, the Mac continued to run flawlessly (as always) and did not hang up. I just started it again as a test and CleanMyMac had found over 16 GB of data that could be removed. Even the "Scan" button (the autopilot, so to speak) often cleans up many GB of data without actually attacking personal data. I have had good experiences with CleanMyMac. In addition to CleanMyMac, DaisyDisk is regularly my tool of choice when it comes to unmasking memory hogs (Photo: DaisyDisk). CleanMyMac ( here is a test report an older version of me).If you really want to clean up your Mac properly in order to have more space on the hard drive, you should take a look at the following apps: More efficient alternatives: CleanMyMac, Disk Inventory and DaisyDisk That's not really a lot when you have a 1TB hard drive. With both options, Monolingual only saved a total of 1,5 GB of storage space on my hard drive. I have to say that the whole action and the risk of something going wrong or having long-term consequences from damaged system files are not worth it from my point of view, if you look at the space gained. Of course, I looked at the hard drive usage before and after running Monolingual. However, my view shows only 1,5 GB - which is also always true: It is also not enough for my view. Phew! The app itself says it saved over 2 GB of data. After this was through and I restarted for the third time, the Mac was back to how it was before. The restart did not bring any improvement and so I have another one Restart in safe mode pushed up. The mouse could still be moved, but the "spinning beachball of death" kept running. After about 15 minutes, Monolingual was suddenly no longer active in the dock (possibly crashed) and my Mac stopped responding to any input. The progress bar filled up relatively quickly, but then the Mac hung for several minutes. Things looked different when the unnecessary processor architectures were removed. It took a good four to five minutes, but then I got a message that the packages had been removed. Deleting the language packs went smoothly for me. I tried the Monolingual tool on my MacBook Pro with macOS Catalina - of course after I had a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner created. Monolingual can also be used to remove parts of code that were developed for specific processor architectures. In my case, this is everything except “Intel 64 Bit”, which the tool already preselects on its own. Here you can remove code parts for processor architectures that do not run on your own Mac anyway. If you want to tidy up even more, you can also look at the second tab "Architectures" in the app. Remove code for other processor architectures
