CleanMyMac CLI Guides

Practical guides for reclaiming disk space, cleaning developer artifacts, and understanding storage on macOS from the Terminal.

These guides focus on common developer storage problems and show how to investigate and clean them safely with CleanMyMac CLI.

Developer cleanup

• Clean Xcode Cache and DerivedData from Terminal
• Clean Developer Caches on macOS
• Find and Remove Old node_modules on Mac
• Clean AI Tool Artifacts on macOS

Disk space

• Analyze Disk Usage on macOS from Terminal

Not sure where to start?

If your Mac is running out of storage but you are not sure what is taking up space, start with:

cleanmymac analyze

Then explore the largest folders before deciding what to clean.

🩷 CleanMyMac CLI is built and used daily by the CleanMyMac team on our own Macs.
