Removing unwanted data helps to speed up Mac

In our Mac computers we save either data or executable applications. Any kind of information that we save at our machine, consume memory which is a very important resource. The free space is important for both saving data and running applications as well. Technically, there should be atleast about 20% of free space available at bootable volume to run the applications. If its not so, there could an unpredicted issue while running an application- either inbuitlt or third party application.

Let me explain my own experience here. I have a disk of 40 GB on wich the bootable volume takes 20 GB. There was about 8 GB of free space in this volume and my system was running smoothly. I created ( to test a third party mac imaging tool ) an image of this bootable volume and saved it on the desktop. And finally moved it to trash.

After that when I tried to run another application it stopped responding. I was not able to run any application.

Solution:

The image I created was 12 GB which was equal to that of data in bootable volume. Since trash is also a part of this volume so it left no free space in this volume. Finally I emptied the trash and once again I got my Mac machine running effortlessly.

So, it becomes necessary to remove unnecessary data and applications to have free space on your drive. It helps you to run your applications smoothly. The main issue is how to find these unnecessary files and applications.

While searching for solution I experienced Stellar speed up Mac. This application deals with five types of files:

1. Duplicate files
2. Cache files
3. Temporary files
4. Language files
5. Universal binary files

It lists all the above types of files which you may need to remove to clean up Mac. The screenshot of Stellar speed up Mac displays an overlook of its user friendly interface.

The uninstaller is to remove the unnecessary applications , widgets and plugins from your Mac. Here are some features of this Mac tool which keep it ahead of others.

1. Fast performance
