Terminal command to delete unnecessary logs

My guess is they want to sell you a paid cleanup product so this is the call to action.

Instead of using a third party tool, I would first make sure you are happy with Apple recommendations on disk clean up.

Your storage is likely SSD and the data stays written and only gets purged when needed by the OS so stale cache seems a misnomer and the same goes for log files. Those should rotate and Apple tools or Daisy Disk give me a much better idea where the space is used if I need to take action.

The terminal command I use to engage the clean up of stale files and secure, patch and update my Mac is

softwareupdate —-all —-install —-restart
