Disk Doctor Pro: Free Up Space for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Great Southern Bear🐻

  I like it ...but.

  The problem with apps like these is that unless you are well versed on what everything that can safely be deleted you will have problems. Deleting caches can cause real problems...can cause various apps to lose prefs, not launch at startup, some apps simply have to be reinstalled after a major cleanup. Apps like these should have automatic safeties built in to provent the deletion of certain critical caches. The list of things you can choose to delet is great but there must be care built in so that idiots like me do not cripple apps because our lack of knowlege and our desire to save space.

  Deleting Files

  I have download two of your softwares and have no idea what to delete without making a mistake on deleting the wrong files. How can you help me with this new problem.

  A fantastic upgrade, after 6 years with the original

  I upgraded to Disk Doctor Pro after using the original version for 6 years. This new ‘pro’ version has several new cleaning features that makes it a worthwhile upgrade and definitely makes it unique amongst the alternatives on offer. If you don’t already have the original app, getting the Pro version is a no brainer and if you are someone who always wants the best, then you can’t go wrong with a brand like this. I found many additional files to delete when running this app for the first time and freed up more than 20gb. I did not have any problems with my Photos, iMovie, 1Password etc, all continued to work perfectly after running the app.

  Freed up over 60GB!

  I had the older verison of Disk Doctor, and I didn't mind at all paying for this newer version. This is why… I have had the same basic image that I have transitioned through all of my Macs, spanning back to the first Leopard release of the OS many years ago. I’m fairly tech-savvy and good at managing space, but as you can imagine…I’d allotted a lot of ‘hidden’ files and applications over time that I have no need for — but weren’ta ble to track down. Some I had forgotten about, some I wouldn’t have bena ble to know about. I first did a TIME PC BACKUP, like the Disk Doctor Pro people recommend — and then I safely went from ~4GB fo space earlier in the day to now having 100GB! Disk Doctor Pro saved me more space than even its clean, as it gave me a ‘hint’ on where to look for other bulky files, based on the ones it recommended for deletion. Long story short — this app paid for itself many times over within minutes. Even if you are a good ‘space manager’, this is an app really worth having and will pay for itself…if not today, then a bit down the road.
