[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1188704, member: 54417"] The OS X Operating system comes with 3 maintenance scripts called Daily - Weekly - Monthly and they perform basic maintenance tasks for the operating system. They run automatically and they will take care of temporary files, cache etc. They are also known as ' cron ' jobs ( Don't ask me where that name comes from, but I guess it is a Unix thing ) The Onyx application can be used when more in depth maintenance tasks are required. I run Onyx like 3 times a year maximum. if you download Onyx, make sure you select the correct version for your operating system. If you have more questions ... ask away..... and enjoy your Mac.
