AI disk cleanup · macOS

See every gigabyte. Ask before you delete.

Every item gets explained — then you confirm. Deletes go to the Trash, documents and system files are never touched — and photo cleanup only removes the shots you approve, restorable for 30 days.

Not one-click delete — ask first

Scan to see the full picture, let AI explain each item, then confirm before anything runs. You stay in control at every step.

01

Scan & see clearly

12 rules — plus AI for unknown large folders — categorize, locate and size every reclaimable gigabyte.

Classified 142 GB used
02

Explain every item

Each item arrives with its origin and a recommendation: can it be rebuilt, what does deleting cost, is it worth it.

Can this 9.7 GB folder be deleted?

Old simulator runtime — re-downloadable from the App Store, and frees a lot of space.

KeepDelete · to Trash
03

Runs only after you confirm

Nothing runs until you check it. Deletes go to the Trash and can be restored; high-risk items stay locked.

Full coverage

One scan, your whole Mac

12 smart scan categories, guarded by a protected allowlist drawn from open-source rules — known risky folders are never listed.

Developer caches

Xcode DerivedData, DeviceSupport, npm / pnpm / Gradle, uv / pip / Go — broken out item by item.

System & browsers

~/Library/Caches behind a protected allowlist; Safari / Chrome / Edge / Firefox handled per path.

Simulator runtimes

Read via simctl — keep the latest version per platform, free the old ones safely.

AI model caches

HuggingFace and ModelScope per model, Ollama / LM Studio libraries — unchecked by default.

Duplicates & large files

SHA-256 duplicate detection, plus >500MB downloads and app leftovers, all listed.

Similar photo cleanup

Finds similar and duplicate shots and keeps the best one — plus blurry photos and old screenshots. Analysis runs 100% on this Mac.

Video & photo slimming

Compress oversized videos with near-lossless HEVC, shrink large photos and convert Live Photos — keep the memory, drop the megabytes.

Unidentified large folders · AI

≥256MB unknown content runs the 5-step AI chain for a three-tier verdict; high-risk stays locked.

Safety principles

Safe by default

A cleanup tool lives or dies by accidental deletes. So AskClean ships every safety guard on by default — nothing to set up.

Restorable deletes

Everything goes to the Trash — drag a mistake back anytime. Never wiped directly.

Per-item confirm

No bulk delete. Every item runs only after you check it yourself.

Never touched

Disk cleanup never touches your photo library, documents, system files or known risky folders. Photo cleanup acts only on shots you pick — deleted photos go to Recently Deleted, restorable for 30 days.

Redacted evidence only

AI sees only redacted structure — paths and extension histograms, never file contents.
