I have a Mac Mini M1 OS13

Do I really need a cleaner/junk remover like Clean my Mac etc?

Thanks

I grew up with Windows and switched to Mac for my personal computing in 2015. It was difficult to drop the CCleaner / regcleaner habits of my windows days. Does Mac need cleaners? No. Does Mac leave behind stuff from uninstalled applications? Yes, but for the most part it is handled really well by the OS.

Are cleaners needed? I side with Apple_Robert here. Nope.
