MacCleanse Reviewit works if you read the instructions - Version: 1.3, 10/20/2008 11:57PM PST

I read the instructions, set the preferences and selected the files I wanted deleted. MacClease deleted only the files I selected and immediately recovered 5GB of disk space. It worked the first time I tried it.

I am no Einstein but this is not difficult software to use. The instructions are minimal and if I was unsure what I was deleting, the information panel told me what I was doing in plain English.

I can think of more complex software or confusing procedures to do what MacCleanse does so handily but that doesn't seem like a productive use of time and energy.

MacCleanse Developer NoteResponding to Concerns - Version: 1.2.8, 10/18/2008 10:20AM PST

1. The typo on the product page is something we were unaware of, and does not exist within our product or our software. It is on the VersionTracker site and should be remedied by the next update.

2. Cleansing QuickTime movies, does not delete your movies. It simply erases the *list* of recent files in QuickTime player.

3. License code issues are dealt with on a per-user basis and are very rare. We do our best to resolve the problem within one business day.

4. There is a full documentation available via the Help menu, and each object can be clicked in the main list for a more detailed description.

5. Correct, MacCleanse cannot wipe individual cookies, it will allow you to erase the whole lot from the browser of your choosing.

6. MacCleanse does not accidently delete 'wanted' files from your Firefox profile.

7. The application has been thoroughly tested, and has thousands of happy buyers.

MacCleanse CommentaryIs this a total wipe-outer? - Version: 1.2.3, 10/12/2008 06:55AM PST

It sounds like a good idea, but does this really wipe out everything in a given category? For example, I have saved a series of 50 historical educational lectures as Quicktime movies. Are these going to be destroyed if I choose Cleanse Quicktime movies? I can see wanting to get rid of little junk Quicktime news videos and silly You TUbes, but what if there are serious things you want to keep? I presume this does not kill things like Amazon histories which are kept by the company, but does this kill autofill info such as saved passwords,etc?
I share the concerns of some that it is all a little too vague.
I am checking recommend, but I really am not sure.

MacCleanse Troubleshooting ReportMy license code... - Version: 1.1, 12/14/2007 10:43PM PST

My license code is never accepted for mac cleanse no matter how many times you guys renew it, it seems. I always get the "This application could not be licensed using the information provided" screen. I only have my robertgellman@earthlink.net address registered with you guys (I believe).
What next could I do, do you feel? Thanks.........Robert Gellman

MacCleanse CommentaryHUH?? - Version: 1.0.5, 6/19/2007 03:43PM PST

There is no info anywhere on how to use this thing, the help menu is worthless

The blurb says that it allows you to select what to "Cleanse" but I could find no such thing
the blurb says it "Let Mac Cleanse carefully and precisely scan and incinerate only what you choose."

what does this mean ? does this mean "select all cookies" vs " select no Cookies" does not sound very precise to me

I set it clean some safe places such as Caches, hit Cleanse and was rewarded with a blank dialog box with an OK box

If I want to clean cookies or anything else I want to see what is being deleted

The only review to date seems to be written by the author or his mother {oops another review just showed up I meant the first review}

I would not use such a program without some more information on whats going on

MacCleanse CommentaryMust Disagree - Version: 1.0.5, 6/19/2007 03:34PM PST

I must disagree with the previous comment about "Nothing more than the user wishes to delete" This is a very wrong statement. As I was perusing the binary around the Firefox cleaning section, I noticed the use of what I would guess is a wildcard to clean out the Firefox history, rather than cleaning just the history, it could accidentally delete other files depending on how in-depth the user is in customization of Firefox.

I would always be careful about knowing exactly what's being cleaned, so I guess it all boils down to trust, and I don't trust an application written in BASIC (realbasic) to clean my computer.

MacCleanse ReviewDeletion through Specific Choices - Version: 1.0.2, 3/18/2007 10:00PM PST

This is one of several applications that I have licensed from this developer of whom I find responsive, competent, and consistent in his application development. MC provides a specific, and quick means of deleting that of which the end-user wishes to delete...and nothing more. This is helpful for those other items you wish to keep. Try it and you will understand.
