USBclean

USBclean is here to help you get rid of those annoying hidden files that pop up on your USB drives. You know, those files that automatically show up when you connect your drive to a different computer or media device? Yeah, those! They can clutter things up and take up space without you even realizing it.

Why You Need USBclean

So, both macOS and Windows create these hidden files on your USBs. They're meant to help speed things up when searching for data or accessing files. But guess what? They stick around even after you eject the drive, which is pretty unnecessary.

The Problem with Hidden Files

If you plug your USB into a different platform later, those hidden files might show up and mess with your playlists or other stuff. This is where USBclean comes in handy—it's a simple tool designed specifically for macOS users to clean that mess up!

How It Works

Using USBclean is super easy! Just drag and drop your external drive onto the main window of the app, and it'll quickly wipe out all the pesky .DS_Store, Thumbs.db, .Spotlight, and Trash files. Plus, if you go into Preferences, you can choose to delete .appdisk and Thumbs.db from Windows too!

Ejecting Made Easy

You can use USBclean whenever you're ready to eject an external drive. The cool part? It cleans everything first before automatically disconnecting it from your Mac. Want to check if everything's cleaned up before ejecting? You can send that info to a Log file!

Simplifying Your Workflow

To make life easier, USBclean lets you drop USBs right on its Dock icon! Or if you'd rather not use the Dock at all, just enable its status bar menu instead.

Your Drives at a Glance

In the menu bar of USBclean, you'll see all your connected external drives. Starting the cleanup process is just a click away! You can also easily open the app's window or head over to Preferences whenever you need.
