CleanMaster
CleanMaster is a Mac cleanup utility that scans for junk, duplicate, large, and similar files to help free storage space.
What is CleanMaster?
CleanMaster is a native Mac utility focused on storage cleanup and file organization. It helps users find and remove unnecessary files, including junk files, duplicate files, large files, app leftovers, and similar photos. The app is aimed at people who want a simpler way to review disk usage and reclaim space without browsing through many folders manually. Its interface centers on scan-and-review workflows so you can inspect results before deleting items. The Mac App Store listing also highlights photo cleanup features that group duplicate or similar images for easier review. CleanMaster is published by Any Case Solutions and is intended for everyday Mac maintenance rather than advanced system administration.

Safety overview
Status: Use with caution
A cleanup tool can remove large numbers of files quickly, so review every result before confirming deletion. Access to folders and files is consistent with the app’s storage-cleaning purpose, but broad file access also means mistakes can affect personal documents, media libraries, or app data if items are selected carelessly. Subscription-based cleaner apps can also be easy to install and hard to evaluate after the first scan, so check billing settings if you no longer use it. Keep a backup of important data before using any bulk-cleanup feature.
Recommendation: Keep CleanMaster if you actively use it to review disk usage and manage duplicates on your Mac. If you do not use cleanup utilities or prefer macOS built-in storage tools, removing it should only affect this app’s scanning and cleanup features. Before uninstalling, cancel any subscription you do not want to renew and make sure you are not relying on it for duplicate-photo or file-review tasks.
