# What do Last clean-up and Next clean-up on the Home screen mean?

They're at-a-glance tiles on the Home screen. **Last clean-up** shows when the most recent clean-up ran — click it to see what happened. **Next clean-up** shows when the next scheduled one is due — click it to change the schedule in Quiet Hours.

Nearby tiles show your automatic rules, such as **Auto rules**, which opens the rules Storage Studio has fitted to your Mac. To see the history of every background job, open **More → Background Activity…**.
