My Mac was running out of disk space the other day, and because I wasn't in the mood to hunt for custom solutions, I reached for Clean My Mac. It's a nice tool, and I knew it would do the job just fine. It freed up 60GB in about twenty minutes. Nice! Cleaning up disk space without any hassle was worth paying for.
A couple of days later, Nick sent out his "One tip a week" newsletter, and dang it... He shared Mole — a free open source CLI tool that does the same thing as Clean My Mac. Too late, Nick. Too late.
I haven't tried it, but I trust Nick's judgment here. You might want to give it a try if you're running low on disk space.
