OK, yI started getting curious about this.
In MacOS BigSUr the launchd runs the command
"periodic" found in /usr/sbin
This appears to run all the scripts in
/etc/periodic/daily, /etc/periodic/weekly or /etc/periodic/monthly.
It is quite possible that other locations are looked at too, and
Hello,
There are several functions that do run regularly to clean up your Mac, but
they run as shell scripts, so unless you are fairly familiar with sh scripting
they probably won't mean much.
Unix has always had these utilities available, and in traditional UNIX systems
they would be run via
Hi,
The tools that clean up your Mac that are built-in, are not tools that you can
configure. These tools run in the background at night, or when you first turn
on a laptop after it was a sleep through the night. There is no need to look
for these tools as they are just handled by a macOS.
Hi Cait,
As I like to say, great minds think alike! I did find Disk Utility and looked

Hi,
While this is only my opinion, there really is no need for disk clean up apps

Hi All,
Well, I attempted to use OS Cleaner for the past two days. While it seems like
a nice cleanup utility, I could not figure out how to run a cleanup. I tried
the typical methods with VO-Arrows and the tab key. I also tried activating
various images but could not determine whether it
