Clean AI Tool Artifacts on macOS

AI development tools can leave caches and other generated data on your Mac.

CleanMyMac CLI provides a dedicated cleanup category for supported AI-tool artifacts.

Scan AI-tool junk

cleanmymac clean ai

CleanMyMac CLI scans supported locations and shows detected items before cleanup.

Review the results and confirm only what you want to remove.

Scan AI junk with other cleanup categories

Run:

cleanmymac clean

This combines AI-tool junk with other supported cleanup categories in one scan.

You can open each category and review individual items before confirming.

Check how much space is being used

When you are not sure where AI or development tools are storing data:

cleanmymac analyze

Or inspect your Library:

cleanmymac analyze ~/Library

Protect important data

Exclude any path you do not want included in future scans:

cleanmymac ignore add /path/to/folder

Review protected paths:

cleanmymac ignore list

Install CleanMyMac CLI

brew install --cask macpaw/taps/cleanmymac-cli

Then:

cleanmymac clean ai

CleanMyMac CLI shows detected AI-tool junk for review before removal.
