CleanMyDrive 2 App Reviews

Does what it needs to do to unmount an OSX mounted drive and clear out the junk hiding on the drive. I work with Windows in a Parallels environment and wish the app would cover that as well. Thanks for a solid piece of software - it complements the Clean My Mac offering quite well.

This app is friendly, useful and handy. The app simplifies cleaning junk from my drive(s) as well as properly ejecting drives from my computer. Performs as advertised.

The reason for the name is the fact that the program deletes random system junk that gets added automatically, but I love it because it puts all mounted drives and images in the menu bar to easily eject and see how the space usage is. Perfect program.

Very useful and handy tool! Does precisely what the manufacturer claims.

I have used CLean my Drive for a few months now and I really think it is a must have for any mac owner. Great job!

I really enjoy this app. It helps keep my HDs in good condition. I totally recommend it.

It cleans all devices connected to your computer, most useful and practical.

This is vastly overpriced software with a pretty look and that’s reasonably functional. But this particular app, is a “BAIT and HOOK, in part because you’re looking at version 2, you download it and it tells you your disk has 27 gazillion gigs of BS on it. But if you download, it’s not really free and it’s not even a one time use. It’s a bait hook. If you want to clean it, you’ll have to pay to download the actual problem. It also has a habit of keeping its hook it when you quit, even if you do a force quit. It will end up running in the background and you’ll have to go to activity monitor in Utilities to shut it down. If a utilities program is not smart enough to actually shut it down, I don’t want it. Funny that, MacPaws get upset with the idea you might be unhappy with its hooks and grabs. Not even the current version. Version 3.0 replaced this one some time back. FWIW, I just don’t like the Chicken S+++ way they do business. Theyre worse than Adobe and that’s something for a 15+year of Photoshop and CS. The front end on version 3 looks nice, but it had limited functionality upgrades for a higher price. As someone who uses a lot of graphics software, i.e. DXO, Topaz, and a ton of others - I get more functionality for important things - and this pig sells for as much or more than some of the programs I really use a lot with huge functionality and don’t effectively take over my machine if I don’t suit their lordships at MacPaw. I’ve really reached a point where I won’t go near MacPaws again - ever. I’ve been through three iterations of this and I’d probably miss it. I hate change for the sake of change. But worse, I hate utilities that built in blocks to functionality when you try to get rid of them. MacPaws says 2.02 fixed some issues that made “some log in items disappear.” Too many things like that create real problems. If they haven’t, you’ve been lucky.

This version of CleanMyDriver 2 is absolutely better than the preview one.

Not worth running a separate app in my taskbar all the time to show me the same breakdown of usage I see in the Disk Utility. As for cleaning “junk” - most of what they clean is there for a reason. It looks nice, seems to function well, etc. but I can’t seem to find a reason to have it on my machine.

I have been looking for simply solution to delete all hidden files that Mac OS writes on external drives, SD cards, etc. This is a big annoyance espcailly for SD cards used in video game systems, for instance. This does the trick super fast and so far without problems with a conveinent menu-bar icon that can be disabled easliy and does not need to run on startup. Highly recommended to similar defunct programs.

It’s a fantastic utility - all around, it does all functions as advertised, and I have never found myself troubleshooting or even glaring at this application.

Its a great app to clean up unseen trash on your drives and maximize space quickly.

simple to learn, simple to use, intuitive fuctionality, great interface.

This is a fantastic utility that supports all your drives at once. Ejects safely, and in turn can add or remove items from your disk as well. A must have for any Mac User.

This app is great, support all your different drives at once and delete a lot of trash that is hidden within the drive and draw space. Highly recommended!! Works like charm.

This product has been a life saver. I have used CleanMy Mac now for several months and love it. I have used some of their other products. I had so many duplicate files & photos that they were taking over my computer. Cleaning everything up made it run faster and much smoother. Thank You MacPaw.

I started the app and it latched onto my USB drive and my main hard drive. I could not get it to stop scanning my USB drive until I quit the app then ejected my USB drive. After that, I could not get it to scan my hard drive. There should be a control to start a scan and a guarantee to stop a scan if necessary.
