- Clean & Eject. Shows the hidden files your Mac left on a card or USB drive (
.DS_Store,._files,.fseventsd,.TemporaryItems,.DocumentRevisions-V100,.apdisk) with their count and size, removes them when you confirm, then ejects the drive. - The drive’s Trash stays unless you tick Empty this drive’s Trash.
- Keep the Mac from indexing this drive leaves a small file that stops Spotlight from making its index there. Spotlight’s own folder is protected by macOS, so it’s listed and left.
- Only on drives made for other devices. FAT and exFAT drives get Clean & Eject. Drives in the Mac’s own format get Eject only.
- When a drive won’t eject, the window names the apps that have files open on it, with the files, and a Quit button for each. Then Try Again. Force Eject… is last, behind a warning.
- In the menu bar, every drive with Clean & Eject… and Eject, and Eject All.
- A checkbox for each kind of file in Settings.
