Hi,

* Disk cleanup software will not do what a clean install will do.  Yes, it will 
get rid of much of the clutter, but it will not be as clear as a clean install 
does.  the Clean Install wipes everything off the drive, re-installs the OS 
back to base level then you need to re-install all apps and such.

* Disk defragmenters are unnecessary in the Mac OS as those sorts of activities 
are performed automatically in the background either overnight or first thing 
in the morning..

* The benefit to using Time Machine is that all settings and your complete 
system are backed up incrementally so you have access to those previous states 
as well as a mode of totally restoring your Mac to the way you've become used 
to, since the Time Machine backups are like a snapshot in time of everything on 
your Mac.

* The basic iCloud account has 5 GB of space for your use.  In most cases, this 
is not enough space to backup iTunes music libraries.

HTH.

Later...
