We have introduced a lot of Mac system cleaning software in the past, but most of them focused purely on the “cleaning” part, that is, removing Apps, analyzing system junk, etc. The TrashMe 3 we recommend in this article not only has these, but also provides some practical additional functions, such as finding duplicate files, freeing up memory, querying Mac hardware information, and maintenance tools, etc. It is very comprehensive, one can meet most needs, and the operation is also very simple.
TrashMe 3 Introduction
Before I start the introduction, let me explain that this TrashMe 3 is not completely free software. It has a 15-day trial period. After that, you must purchase the paid version. It adopts a one-time buyout fee method. Unlike many software today that are subscription-based, people who think it is good can consider it.

System will scan your Mac’s cache and error reports, allowing you to quickly find these useless temporary files and free up more storage space:
I didn’t expect my Spotify cache to take up so much space, over 1GB. This set can also scan iOS backup files, which is very useful for people who often use Mac to back up iPhone and iPad. Check whether there are any old backups that are useless:
Startup is used to check apps and services that are automatically executed at startup:
Trash is the recycle bin. If you have files that have not been cleared, they will appear in the list:

Duplicates looks for duplicate files. I didn’t expect there to be so many on my Mac:
