Mac keeper or Clean my Mac3

Third option...none.

You genuinely don't need any of these "cleaner" apps. At best they'll remove a few small files from your Library folder that will do nothing, at worst you won't have a clue what they do.

If you want to "freshen" up your system, best thing is to do a reinstall as you would with any other OS.

But when We delete app not everything goes so is there a better app remover than using drag to trash?

This is what I was saying, that these files don't really matter. There are some app removers out there but as far as I'm aware they need to be open at the time of installation. I'm fussy about this stuff as well however I just go through and delete manually if need be, and am just picky about what I install!

They're not really worth the hassle in my opinion.

You don't need to do a 'refresh install', I've been running Macs for something like seven or eight years now and I've never had to reinstall. When new versions of the OS come out, I just patch the new one. I've even just cloned from one Mac to another when I changed hardware.

I say I've never "had" to reinstall but I did one earlier this year just to see if I'd notice any difference and whether removing seven years of cruft would actually make any difference.

No. I didn't notice any performance difference between the two installations.

So just use your Mac and forget any Windows mindset where the computer slows down over time.

Well my iMac did certainly slow down when i installed the latest OSX. When I do a refresh it was flying again. So what am i doing wrong?

When you delete your files do you just drag the App to the trash?
