How to Clean up your Mac Hard Drive & Mac Startup Disk

Remember the days of windows, when you decided to leave the virus infected world for glamorous Mac world! After having lots of fun with Mac in its honeymoon period are you feeling something missing from your dearest Mac? With the passing time, is your Mac getting slow day by day? If yes! Nothing to worry about, just you need to clean up your Mac hard drive. Some of you may be started feeling delay in booting of the system, isn't you?


Lets start with cleaning Boot Volume:
First of all try to find out what process Mac loads when it booted up. Go to system preference and then user accounts at “login item” tab.

All the process will be listed in front of you which your Mac have to load while booting.  Make sure all the process listed here are well known by you. Most of the process which you will find here will be “*Helper” where * is any string. As for example  shown in image “iTuneHelper”. If in case you find anything for which you are not sure about just click “-” after selecting it.


Find Number of Process Running:

If your Mac is late responsive that is you have to wait for process to start after initiating the same. You might have to check this total number of process running at the time time. Quit unimportant process that may immediate solution of processing speed. To see the same go to Application->Utility->Activity Monitor

Make a list of all such softwares and un-install them safely for permanent cure of all such issues. But problem here is Apple has not shipped any un installer though just drag and drop may install that application but thats not proper un-install some of the files will remain untouched there. So it is better idea to use any uni-nstaller for installing the Apps.12
