Freeing up space · One-tap clean-up (Run Tuhi)

Why does the number of steps in a Run Tuhi clean-up change from run to run?

Short answer: Run Tuhi checks what's actually worth clearing on your Mac before it starts and only adds a step when it would free a worthwhile amount, so the Step x of N count reflects this Mac today, not a fixed list.

Because the plan is built for your Mac at that moment. Before anything is touched, Run Tuhi looks at what's actually there to clear — developer and package caches, system and log clutter — and only adds a step when it would free a worthwhile amount, biggest win first.

So a Mac with a lot of build caches gets an extra step, and one that was cleaned yesterday may get fewer. The "Step x of N" counter reflects that live plan rather than a fixed list.

The core steps — tidying large folders and caches, reclaiming old local backups and keeping cloud files online-only — appear whenever they apply. See what each step does.
