If you find that some of the &#8220;inside&#8221; cleaning sounds a bit time-consuming or difficult, we have another solution for you &#8212; <strong>Parallels Toolbox<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parallels Toolbox is a set of over 30 utilities for Mac and Windows that can be purchased as an annual subscription for $19.95, but it&#8217;s even more of a deal with the Parallels flagship app &#8212; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Parallels Desktop for Mac (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Parallels\/PPDPROSUB1Y\/\" target=\"_blank\">Parallels Desktop for Mac<\/a> &#8212; because it&#8217;s included along with the virtual machine environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;ll take a look at just a few of the utilities that are part of Parallels Toolbox, complete with short video tutorials showing how each of these tools works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of files on your Mac that can be safely removed every once in a while. Caches, logs, and temporary files created by the operating system tend to clutter up your computer and eat up valuable storage space. The <strong>Clean Drive<\/strong> feature of Parallels Toolbox scans storage periodically, then reminds you to clean out those pesky files. Here\u2019s a video showing how to do this on a Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jfPCpRPRQ80?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Clean Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty easy, isn\u2019t it? That\u2019s the way that most of the tools in Parallels Toolbox are. With a click on the menu bar icon and another few clicks, you can save gigabytes of storage, speed up backups, and keep your Mac clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Duplicates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tool can find duplicate files on your Mac that can be safely removed. <strong>Find Duplicates<\/strong> can even find duplicate files that have different names:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NW8JhPdakFg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Find Duplicates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is select one or more directories, and Parallels Toolbox goes to work finding those duplicates. Once you see what the files are, you can decide which of the duplicates to delete, saving even more space in your storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Memory for Mac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes your Mac acts sluggish if you didn\u2019t buy it with enough memory or <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/apple\/memory\/?_ga=2.240189379.1977278248.1584472102-414087188.1583271793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"equip it with a RAM upgrade from MacSales.com (opens in a new tab)\">equip it with a RAM upgrade from MacSales.com<\/a>. Run a lot of apps simultaneously and each app chews up some RAM, and if things get a little too crowded, the Mac begins doing \u201cdisk swaps\u201d to store working memory to storage temporarily. This really slows things down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Free Memory<\/strong> tool in Parallels Toolbox releases inactive memory on your computer, optimizing memory consumption, and overall computer performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resize Images for Mac and Windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you run a website? Work on a newsletter? Need to send a lot of photos through email? Especially with today\u2019s high-resolution cameras, image file sizes can be enormous. The <strong>Resize Images<\/strong> tool lets you resize images, or convert them to a different format. All you need to do is drag the files to the tool\u2019s window or dock icon, specify the preferred dimensions and file format, and let it go to work. This tool works wonders with batches of files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video here is of the Windows version, but it works similarly in macOS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/61NajoBm_2c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Resize Images (Windows version)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unarchive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While macOS provides a built-in way to handle .zip files and several other common compressed file formats, <strong>Unarchive<\/strong> (paired with the <strong>Archive<\/strong> tool) gives you more control over your storage by minimizing the space needed to house certain files. Use Archive to compress unused files that you\u2019d still like to keep around, then get them back in seconds with Unarchive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mfe_vTinpCU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Unarchive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, these are just a few of the many tools that are available in Parallels Toolbox. While some may provide functionality that\u2019s similar to other utilities or even macOS functions, it\u2019s very handy to have all your tools in one easy to use toolbox. <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/Parallels\/PPDPROSUB1Y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pick up a copy of Parallels Desktop today to create your own Windows or Linux virtual machine (opens in a new tab)\">Pick up a copy of Parallels Desktop today to create your own Windows or Linux virtual machine<\/a>, and enjoy the added benefit of Parallels Toolbox at the same time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our very own Tom Nelson recently provided some wonderful tips on cleaning your Mac, both inside and out.
