How to Delete Photoshop Caches With CleanApp
CleanApp is a software application created by Synium Software for Mac OS X. While application deletion on Macs is typically accomplished by dragging and dropping the application's file into the trash can, CleanApp offers a complete application removal by also searching through OS X's registry information to delete hidden files that applications may leave behind. In addition to this option, CleanApp also includes the ability to delete a program's cache file whether or not it has been uninstalled. Large applications such as Photoshop typically have very large caches, and deleting Photoshop's cache may speed up both application and operating system operation.
