hey guys this is Austin and today music video going over ccleaner for Mac now ccleaner has been one of my favorite programs on Windows for quite a while and it just come out of beta on OS 10 so download it of course I have a link in the description of this video you downloaded at piriform comm and that's how you say it anyway Billy just give you guys a little example of what CCleaner is all about so as you may have guessed from the name ccleaner is all about clearing up the junk on your computer now of course there's a lot of stuff on Windows and people you know give Windows a bad rap for that however you can definitely get some junk on your you know your Mac which can definitely slow it down and of course just eat up disk space and all kinds of stuff so this is a great way to keep it nice and clean so it split up into a couple of categories I'll try to go through them as briefly as I can so over here you can go ahead and clear out web browsers so just as far as like things that come automatically installed in OS 10 so let's say for example we want to have Safari totally clean just like a brand new install so we can delete cookies history cache all that kind of stuff you know I don't actually think I'm going to do that but if you wanted to you know always it is kind of nice to have something that's you know kind of like a brand new fresh browser over here you can take care of system things so for example it can automatically delete our trash recent documents application server so I'm gonna go ahead and remove the servers and leave probably everything else alone there's also system applications so we can clean out the junk now do keep in mind it's not like wiping everything so what it's doing is its wiping out like system file I mean that system I'll temporary files generally it's not going to maybe affect anything major of course if you delete cookies and all that kind of stuff it can do but in general just going to do kind of behind the scenes step just kind of speed everything up on top of that you also do have access for third-party applications so for Chrome I'm not going to delete anything kind of like to have all my my things still saved but as far as applications go we can go ahead and just let it clean up all this stuff there's probably not going to be that much but we can take a look so once you go through everything what you can do is you can quit just clean or we can analyze so I'm going to do is analyze and here we go so this is the analysis I wouldn't go ahead and remove about 7.5 gigs or so worth of stuff pretty much all that's in my trash but we can see here there is some software update there's like 15 Meg's there iTunes had some stuff QuickTime had for some reason 98 megabytes so there's all kinds of stuff once we figured out we go okay that we we don't want any the steps just hit clean and woosh it'll be gone and we just say 7.5 gigs on our hard drive which is pretty cool especially if you have a small SSD like I do now there also some other tools here so for example you can uninstall things very simply so let's say I no longer wanted a VLC or whatever I could just uninstall it straight from here nothing spectacular but it is nice to have all this in one area you can also repair permissions so if there's something wrong you can easily just say okay I'm going to repair it or verify or whatever and you can also erase free space on your drive which I don't recommend if you have a solid-state drive but if you want to go ahead and make sure that no one like for example if you're selling your Mac whatever this is a good way to go and lastly there's a kind of cool little feature that allows you to delete cookies individually so let's say of course you know cookies are the little bits of information that your web browser will download from pretty much any site as you guys can see here a lot of this stuff is not anything I want I don't want one 12.2 oh seven dotnet like that a lot of this is from advertisers or whatnot so you know if I wanted to leet all these but still can't see save a couple so for example you know I want to stay signed into YouTube and Google so I can go ahead and move a couple over here and then I going to go through all these on camera that we probably take quite a while but you can go through and keep all the cookies that you want delete the rest and you're going to be good to go anyway guys it's going to be about it for my little video on ccleaner for Macs I highly recommend it it's a great program like I said I love it on Windows and now that's over on OS 10 doesn't going to be using it quite a bit anyway guys if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
