# What does the Run Tuhi button on the Home screen do?

Run Tuhi is Storage Studio's one-tap clean-up. It tidies large folders your rules match onto your fast drive, clears caches and other rebuildable clutter, reclaims old local backups your Mac is holding, and can keep cloud files online-only — then stops when it's done, with live progress the whole way.

It only includes steps that are safe to run unattended. Anything that needs a decision from you, such as which app to move, shows up as a suggestion instead of being done for you.

1. Open Storage Studio from the menu bar.
2. On **Home**, tap **Run Tuhi**.
3. Watch the progress, or close it — the run carries on in the background.

If you'd rather approve every step yourself, use the preview-first [Free Up Space wizard](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/what-is-the-free-up-space-wizard). More detail is in the [Tuhi & Free Up Space manual](https://storagestudio.us/manual/free-up-space).
