# How often should I run the Tuhi clean-up?

Whenever you like — for most people a weekly tidy-up is plenty, and there's no need to run it when space is healthy. Storage Studio also keeps a light watch on your free space and will speak up if it starts running low.

The parts that are always safe, such as cache cleanup and moving rule-matched folders, can also run on a schedule through your rules, outside your Quiet Hours, so you may rarely need the button at all.

If you ever ask Tuhi "Do I need to run Tuhi?", it answers from your Mac's current free space. See [how the space watch works](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/how-does-the-space-watch-work).
