When the scan finished, the MacBook breathed a sigh of relief. 20 gigabytes of "ghost data" were gone. The fans went silent. The User clicked the "Clean" button one last time, marveling at how a simple update from 2020 could make a 2015 laptop feel like it just came out of the box.
Finally, the light fell on the little log file. It braced for the end. But as the algorithm processed its metadata, MacClean paused. It saw that this specific log was tied to a sentimental, albeit rarely used, photo-editing app.
temp_cache_882.log watched as its neighbors—old cookies from 2018, duplicate photo thumbnails, and broken login items—were vaporized.

As the progress bar crept forward, a beam of clinical blue light—the MacClean scanner—swept across the hard drive.
