Features
Read full description

theMClean Go helps users review files and folders they choose from the Files app, plus photos and videos from their Photos library if they grant access. Because iOS and iPadOS protect device storage, theMClean Go does not scan hidden system areas, app caches, private app containers, or other apps. Instead, it gives users a focused review workspace for files they explicitly select. Key features: Scan files or folders selected from the Files app Scan the Photos library (with permission) to review photos and videos by size Play videos with fullscreen and Picture in Picture before deciding what to keep Delete staged photos and videos through the standard iOS confirmation dialog Review total size, file count, categories, and large files Preview common file types such as images, text, PDFs, audio, and video Filter review results by category Select items and move them to Stage before final cleanup decisions Use a tablet-optimized dashboard with charts and file summaries theMClean Go is built for people who want a safer way to inspect Downloads, iCloud Drive folders, local device storage, project folders, media exports, archives, and documents before deciding what to keep.
