macOS is an operating system that excels in organization and simplicity. Applications are “folders” and the ease of space management often leads the user to neglect this task. Since all users are collectors of anything and everything, Macs may need a good cleaning after a few years. To do this, the user can do it manually or ask for help. This is where BuhoCleaner comes to the rescue.

This tool simplifies tasks such as cleaning up abandoned, duplicated, rejected files, and even freeing your computer of stuff that just hangs on resources. Let’s get to know this app.

Over time, as efficient as macOS is at managing installs, uninstalls, space management, and simple storage, we end up with junk that doesn't make any sense to take up space and throw it away.
We can perform manual cleanups, but we never go into the back alleys of our computer to clean up the folders containing these pieces of software, duplicate files, abandoned applications, and more from disk junk.
Thus, there is nothing better than resorting to tools to solve this problem.  Today let's talk about one of these tools which we found for this task and which brought us good results, we are talking about BuhoCleaner.
So what is BuhoCleaner good for?
Briefly and in a list, these are the highlights of this tool to clean and manage your Mac:

Cleaning "useless files" to free up space
Remove unused apps
Large File Management
Search for duplicate files and folders
Manage startup items when you turn on your Mac
optimization tools

Manage (visual) storage
File Shredder'
clearing RAM
Reindexing Spotlight Search
clearing the cache



So, these are the recommendations that the user will find when using the application.
1# Clean up "useless files" to free up space
The first button in the sidebar of BuhoCleaner's tools is "Flash Cleaner".  After the user selects the "Analyze" option, the program finds and cleans up files that it considers useless for the operation of its machine.
This is a feature that is essentially designed to clean up your Mac.

After the program runs the machine analysis task, the options shown offer a report with a "System Recycle Bin" as well as a user's recycle bin and even a "browser recycle bin".
From here, the user can go two ways:

Click on the "Delete" button, which will remove the files automatically selected by BuhoCleaner;
Click "View Details" to manually select the file types to delete.

If you want this tool to view your Mac's files, you'll need to give your administrator permission to proceed.  To do this, click on "Grant access" in the window that appears on the screen.
2# Remove unused apps
The second main menu gives us access to the "Uninstall Application" option.
More than a tool for:

List of all installed applications (and how much space each of them takes);
"Remains" of applications are moved to the Trash;
A list with everything that the user has selected in this window to delete (both files and applications);
List of "big and old" apps (that are over 100MB and/or haven't been opened in the last three months;
List of applications organized by origin (App Store and others);
List of apps organized by developers.

Essentially, this cleanup app mimics what we know about the Windows Control Panel and helps the user get rid of both apps and "leftovers" from them.
3# Large file management
The Large Files tool is designed to show the user your files that weigh more than 50 MB.

These items are divided into the following categories:

Audio;
Video;
Pictures;
The documents;
files;
Other files.

Of course, these files do not belong to the same category as previously discarded garbage.  These are files that may be of interest to put on disk, as they may be consumable.  The purpose of this tool is to work like a heavy duty file manager to make it easier to free up space on your Mac.

That is, carefully analyze each file that you plan to delete using this tool from BuhoCleaner.
4# Search for duplicate files and folders
This is always a problem on all computers.  We are creatures by nature who collect, store and leave for life stored things that we do not know if they will ever be needed.  Moreover, since there are moments that never repeat, we tend to double and sometimes triple the digital material that is now the target of our quest to preserve.

So this tool takes that into account and created the "Duplicates" option.  Basically, this is a feature that works differently than the ones mentioned so far in this list.  Here the user will have to select folders that BuhoCleaner will analyze, looking for duplicate files and subfolders - that is, with the same size and content.

To do this, the user needs to click on the big button with the “+” sign.  At the same time, the program shows recommendations for folders to run the analysis.  You can choose one of them and/or click "Choose Custom Folder" just below to choose another.  After that, click "Select".



				
			



				
			



		
After analysis, BuhoCleaner shows everything it found in duplication state on Mac.  Items are divided into tabs: all items, folders, documents, and other files.  Then just choose which ones you want to delete and click "Delete".
5# Launch item manager
Startup Items is the fourth button on the sidebar of BuhoCleaner.  Shows programs that automatically open when the user turns on their machine and logs into the Mac.

Even in the report generated by this tool, these applications are divided into two categories.

User Login Items: These are applications that launch automatically when you log in, i.e. when you enter your password or use Touch ID;
Home Services: Programs that open automatically when you turn on your Mac.

Both lists have a selector before each element.

By clicking on this selector, these applications will be activated or deactivated when the operating system is initially executed (when the machine is started).
6# Optimization tools
The last button on the sidebar of BuhoCleaner has a pretty name: Toolbox.  This "kit" contains five tools aimed at optimizing your machine.  In other words, the idea behind these tools is to make your Mac faster for most tasks.

Let's take a look at each of them below:
Disk space analyzer
Units of measurement - MB (megabyte), GB (gigabyte), etc. - are used to let the user know the size of the files.  This is because some people require a visual "quantification" of the space occupied in order to understand what is being used.

For example, it is important to show how much smaller a 200 MB file is compared to a 1 GB file.  That's what this tool does.  It analyzes the drive (or the selected folder) and visually shows the amount of space occupied for each file, folder or subfolder.  See here for details as you can Clear System Data Storage on Mac.

This is shown in the panel in the right half of the window.

file shredder
This is a tool that the user must use very carefully.  This "shredder", as the name suggests, completely erases files without any guarantee of recovery.  If this is some important file for the application to work... you are lost!

BuhoCleaner itself recommends using this tool in the following situations:

When the user needs to erase sensitive data;
When you want to delete "persistent files" (those that can't be deleted in principle).


clearing RAM
This is RAM that temporarily stores data that the Mac uses to run programs.
That is, this memory is partially responsible for the speed of applications in the operating system.  That is why the machine slows down when the RAM is overloaded.

This is what this tool promises to help solve.  It is one of those that serve to make the Mac faster.  BuhoCleaner recommends using this tool if:

Are you experiencing performance issues on your Mac?
The delay occurs when writing (you type text and it appears after a while);
Mac freezes for a while when loading applications or even web pages.

Reindexing Spotlight Search
Spotlight Search is a tool that the user activates by pressing command and spacebar to perform a quick search on Mac.  This search scans both operating system files and the Internet to answer what you were looking for.  And sometimes she gets into trouble.


The purpose of this tool is to solve problems with the functioning of Spotlight Search by rebuilding its index.
BuhoCleaner recommends that the user use this option if no results appear after a search and/or if the search tool is "behaving strangely".
clearing the cache

This tool also works in a similar way to clearing RAM.  And it's also an opportunity to make your Mac faster.  Basically this option clears IP addresses and other DNS records.
According to BuhoCleaner, among the problems that this tool helps solve are those related to security and internet connectivity.  The program recommends using it if the user is having problems loading websites and/or connecting.  To use it, just click on the "Start" button.
Shortly speaking...
It is an easy to use, understandable and very competent tool.  It's not free costs 20 euros for life but it will come in handy ... in fact, for life.  You can get 20% off when you use the coupon PPL20PT10valid for Individual Plan and Family Plan versions for the first 100 uses.
