How to uninstall apps on a Mac completely?

Dragging an app to the Trash removes the application bundle but leaves its support files behind. macOS has no built-in uninstaller, so preferences, caches, saved state, containers and logs stay in your Library folder indefinitely — including for apps you removed years ago.

How to clear cache on a Mac safely?

You clear cache on a Mac by emptying the contents of ~/Library/Caches — and it is safe, because every file in it is designed to be regenerated. Quit apps first, delete what is inside each cache folder (not the folder itself), then empty the Trash. Apps rebuild caches on the next launch; the only cost is a slightly slower first launch.

Is a Mac cleaner safe to use?

The risk with any Mac cleaner is not that it deletes too little — it is that it deletes something you needed and cannot get back. Broomkit is built on the assumption that its own judgement is sometimes wrong. Everything goes to the Trash rather than being unlinked, so a mistake is recoverable until you empty it. Anything inferred rather than known — old installers, app leftovers, large files — starts unchecked.
