[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1913961, member: 333068"] Yesterday, I read online how to clean the macOS cache. The instructions are to go to "~Library/Caches/". Well, I have a few questions. Two of the sub-folders in the Caches folder have a red circle with a white dash in the lower-right of the folder. When I double-click, a window pops up & tells me that I don't have permission to see the contents. Then why are the 2 folders in the Caches folder? If I were to select the Caches folder & then delete it, would Catalina state that I can't delete the 2 folders with the red circle? I've read online that Clean My Mac is malware or spyware or something lie that. I wonder if there is an app included with macOS that cleans out the cache that most people are unaware of. Or maybe a Terminal command. I used CCleaner when I had Windows. I've noticed that there is a Mac version. P.S. I have a 2013 MacBook Air. I plan to get the new 2022 Air shortly after it is in the stores. [/QUOTE]
