But I do not use any of them, so I cannot comment on their efficacy.

Some of the professional HDD cleaners may be able to approximate a clean install by searching out orphaned files for deletion. Secure empty trash will eat up your SSD life for nothing, unless you need that security for work.Ī clean install is a powerful, but time consuming step for refreshing your HDD/SSD with a new major release of OS X.

SSDs actually use fancy software to minimize cell rewrites and extend drive life, as well as a certain amount of excess capacity to substitute when others reach end of life. Most of them, as I understand it, have a limited number of write cycles per cell. Second, it is probably a bad idea for SSDs. It was forced on me at work, and I started scheduling a periodic empty trash at night because it took too long and slowed down HDD access during the work day. Two more thoughts about secure empty trash. Secure empty trash does not address this issue because these files are not in the trash. A clean install will start you out fresh at the expense of some time.

Over the years, you install and delete apps and upgrade your OS, both of which tend to leave orphaned files on your computer. A clean install ensures that only current and necessary system files are present on your computer for the new OS and your existing set of apps (because you have to reinstall them). Any decent disk maintenance tool can clear data from “deleted” areas on a HDD/SSD. This is not the primary issue that is addressed by a clean install. Secure empty trash writes over that area seven times to make the old data unrecoverable (thus “secure”). Granted, regular empty trash simply makes that area of your HDD/SSD available for new stuff by clearing the info in the disk file directory. I do not understand your statement regarding secure empty trash. MacDailyNews Take: There’s nothing like a clean install – except for a new Mac! “The Complete Guide to an OS X Clean Install of El Capitan” is here. “In addition, sometimes the normal housecleaning process with apps like Spring Cleaning and App Zapper can’t solve a particularly difficult issue, and the only way to get a fresh start is a Clean Install.” Or just take up too much space,” Martellaro writes. Over time, a lot of cruft, that is, unused extensions, app support files, preferences and other files in your Library folder or System Library folder can become troublesome or even a security issue, like Java.
“There are some users who suspect that a Clean Install is a good way to approach a complete new version of OS X. “However, there are occasions when a user needs to do what’s called a ‘Clean Install.’ This is like setting up a Mac as if it first came out of the box and then personal data is restored.”
“With this kind of upgrade, all user data, settings and accounts remain as before, and that works for most users most times,” Martellaro writes. “Apple has designed OS X so that one can just upgrade to the next version, ‘over the top,’ seamlessly,” John Martellaro writes for The Mac Observer.
