How it works:

  • Built using Platypus to turn the script into a simple macOS app.
  • Opens Terminal in the background, navigates to the user's cache folder, and removes their cache files.
  • After the cleanup, the user is prompted to restart their system for the changes to take effect.


How to run it:

Using the app:

  1. Download the app from releases.

  2. The first time opening an untrusted app varies on your macOS version:

    a. On macOS Sequoia, you need to navigate to System Settings, Privacy & Security, then find the specific app and click Open Anyway.

    b. On older versions of macOS, you may need to secondary click the app, then click Open, and click Open again.

Using Terminal

  1. Navigate to the script's directory.
  2. Run the script by typing sh TrashTheCache.sh.
