Clean Caches
To speed up your computer, Mac OS X stores frequently used data in files know as caches. However, when this data becomes corrupted it can cause all kinds of problems ranging from reduced performance over slow starts to system and application crashes. Moreover, no longer needed data may end of eating up your precious disk space.
If you experience any of these problems, or you would like to free up some disk space, try cleaning your caches.
To clean your caches:
- Choose System > Clean System Cache.
- Choose System > Clean All Users Caches.
- Choose System > Clean Font Caches.
