FAQPage Schema

How do I identify what is taking up disk space on macOS and Windows?▼

A non-destructive disk audit scans your system to categorize storage usage by file type and directory. It identifies space hogs like caches and hidden containers on macOS and Windows while keeping your data completely safe.

Can I safely clean temporary files without accidentally deleting system data?▼

Yes, safe disk cleanup uses a three-tier logic categorizing files into green, yellow, and red tiers. This prevents accidental data loss by flagging system-critical files as red and requiring human judgment for yellow-tier items.

How do I generate an interactive disk usage report for cleanup?▼

Run a disk analysis scan to generate a local HTML dashboard. This interactive report visualizes disk usage and allows you to preview, open, or safely move cached files to the trash with a single click.

Does disk cleanup move files to the trash or permanently delete them?▼

Disk cleanup moves files to the trash rather than permanently deleting them. This secure, reversible file removal utilizes system-native trash integration, ensuring you can recover anything you might need later.

What is the best way to remove hidden cache containers on macOS?▼

The best way to remove hidden cache containers is using an intelligent disk scanner that categorizes system-specific storage hogs. It identifies these hidden directories and offers user-confirmed, reversible cleanup actions.
