TrashMan is a new utility that takes the stress out of emptying your Mac’s trash. There’s only one Trash icon in your Mac’s dock, but every drive connected to your Mac actually has its own trash. The problem is, there’s no built-in way to empty the trash for just one drive. You may be concerned that the trash on a particular drive contains an item you didn’t intend to delete. As a result, you let your trash continue to fill, afraid to empty it. Instead, TrashMan provides a tool to empty the trash for each drive separately, providing peace of mind.

Have you ever wondered why your Mac only has one trash bin, even though you have multiple drives? TrashMan solves this mystery by giving you the power to manage your trash like never before. Instead of dealing with a single, cluttered bin, TrashMan lets you selectively empty your Mac’s trash by volume, allowing you to keep your drives organized and free up space where you need it most. Whether you’re managing multiple external drives, a partitioned internal drive, or a combination of storage solutions, TrashMan gives you the precision and control you’ve been missing.

Using TrashMan is simple and intuitive. Once opened, the application appears in your Mac’s menu bar, providing quick access to manage your Mac’s trash. The interface lists all connected drives, showing the number of items and the amount of space taken up by the trash on each drive.

To use TrashMan:

1. View Your Drives: Each connected drive is listed along with the number of trashed items and the total space they occupy.
2. Empty Trash Selectively: Next to each drive, there’s an “Empty” button. Clicking this button will clear the trash only for that specific drive, allowing you to free up space without affecting other drives.

This selective approach helps you manage your storage more effectively, ensuring that you only delete what you need to, when you need to.

Compatibility: macOS 13 or greater, including macOS 15 ‘Sequoia
