You can clear out application and system log files on a Mac automatically using MacKeeper’s Safe Cleanup feature. If you’re running out of disk space, it’s a good idea to clear log files on a Mac to free up space. Over time, Mac system logs will also fill up your system drive, potentially leaving you without the space you need to update your Mac or install new applications.
Unfortunately, while these log files can be useful, they can also be filled with a lot of useless data, and they’re not designed to be user friendly. These issues may prove to be minor, but if your Mac crashes and you can’t figure out why, you can use log files to troubleshoot the issue.
Your Mac records detailed information on errors, crashes, and issues that occur.
