Yes, once you have upgraded to OS X 10.11 and started all your professional and personal computing on it, you will need some more freebies. I am talking of some free Disk Management utilities that can provide additional support to your Mac. Disk, Utility!! Yes, it’s there for you always but you might need some more help in order to organize, maintain and manager your Mac hard drive that is running El Capitan.

I have long trusted below apps that can usually do wonders on Mac OS X. Sometimes they perform better than OS X’s own bunch of tools.

1. Onyx (Trust comes first)

Onyx has been long serving Mac OS X since OS X 10.2 Jaguar to 10.10 Yosemite. Its newest version, which will support OS X El Capitan, will roll out soon. Onyx performs tasks similar to Mac’s own Disk Utility:

• Verify startup disk
• Mends disk permission
• Uninstalls applications
• Build up databases
• Manage Finder, iTunes, Login, Dock, Browser (Safari)
• Cleanup Caches from Boot, Kernel, Extensions, Preferences, Quick Time, Audio and other components

2. Omnidisksweeper

The name of this app actually communicates its functionality for OS X. This free app will list up and sweep all that is unnecessary, cluttered on Mac hard disk drive. Omnidisksweeper sounds so helpful since garbage data collection is inevitable on any version of Mac OS X. Ultimately you will look for an app that may offer you support by showing the files as per their file sizes. This is how its works

• Launch Omnidisksweeper and select hard drive
• Click ‘Sweep Selected Drive..’
• Navigate the listed files arranged in descending order. Select and press Delete

3. Stellar Speedup Mac

This app is free Mac disk cleaner software that removes clutter from boot drive and logical partitions. This software works when over a period of time Mac accumulates unwanted caches, binaries, extensions, trashes, unused, duplicate files and begins to crawl. Its built-in Uninstaller takes care of all useless apps that need to get rid off. But its main functionality is to remove caches, logs and replicated files, leftovers, trashes and language packs. To operate Speed up Mac tool is as simple as eating pie.

• Launch app and click ‘Rocket Button’

• Cleaning of Mac Startup drive is initiated
• Junks files are removed

4. AppZapper

Another free uninstaller is this utility called AppZapper that kicks out a stubborn application from Mac OS X El Capitan, Yosemite and other versions. Very useful and simple to use, you only need to drag the software icon to its tray and press ‘Zap’ in order to send it to Trash folder.
