What Clear System does
Find copies with identical contents
A scan groups files with identical contents and shows how many copies exist and how much space the extras may occupy. Names alone do not count.
Scan only the folders you choose
Add one or several folders, or drag them into the window. The app scans only folders you select. It finds exact copies, not merely similar photos.
Keep one file in each group
Select extras individually, or use Auto-Select Duplicates to mark all but the oldest file in each group. The app prevents selecting every copy in a group.
Check locations before deciding
Expand a group to see file locations, sizes and dates. Preview an item with Quick Look or reveal it in Finder.
Sort by the biggest extras
Filter images, documents, videos, audio, archives and other files. Sort by wasted space, copy count or name.

Questions
Does it delete files permanently?
No. Selected files go to the system Bin, where they remain recoverable until it is emptied. Items that could not be moved stay visible in the results.
Does it find similar photos?
No. It finds exact copies only, where the file contents are identical.
Which Mac does it need?
macOS 14.0 or later.
What's new
Version 2.0 · 30 Oct 2026
Clear System 2.0 brings duplicate finding and careful cleanup into one flow. Scan chosen folders, see how much space copies occupy, and inspect each match. Auto-Select keeps the oldest file in each group, while manual selection stays available. Check the count and size before moving extras to recoverable Trash; failed moves remain visible.
