Every iOS user can relate to the feeling of not being able to download a new app or game just because they don’t have enough storage space on their device. What these users usually end up doing is to look for apps, movies, photos, music, and any other files they can delete from their phone. Even though some are reluctant to resort to this, they don’t have much choice. As a result, they end up losing some files that they have stored on their device for years.
If you can relate to this problem, there’s one tool that you can use for your device. Called CleanMyPhone for Mac, you no longer have to free up space on your device just so you can download a new app. Instead, this Mac app helps you connect your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) so you can easily look for the culprit that’s eating up your space. At the same time, the app helps you clear residual junk that has been stored on your cache that other apps have left behind. Especially if you’re fond of using Facebook, CleanMyPhone for Mac will help you clear the cached photos so you have enough space for new apps.
Once you have downloaded the app, you won’t have any trouble using it. All you need to do is connect your device to your Mac and launch the program. This will enable you to perform the cleanup process quickly. When the program starts, you will initially see a Device Status—a portion where you learn about your device’s total capacity, iOS version, as well as other ID numbers necessary. This area also displays the used space on your device, just like your iTunes sync bar. Each color on the bar represents different items about your storage.
Another quick scan on your device and you’ll see which item is eating up all the unused space on your device: App Cookies, App Junk Files, documents, data, and App Cache. Most of the time, it’s the App Cache that’s taking up space on your device. Once the scan has been finished, you can choose to delete files individually or in small batches. You may also perform a full cleanse of these unnecessary files.
Apart from deleting unused files on your device, CleanMyPhone for Mac also functions as a One-Click-Copy function so you can easily backup your files—videos, photos, messages, call logs, reminders, notes, contacts, and others. The other feature of the program is to Find Large Files, which work similarly to its App Cleaner function.
CleanMyPhone for Mac costs $39.95 for standard and $59.95 for premium accounts. The price may be a letdown but if you want to clean up space on your device, it’s well worth a download.
