Why FCP Cleaner?

Running out of disk space? Get your storage back.

Final Cut Pro generates massive amounts of background data. A single project can quickly take up hundreds of gigabytes. We find and remove these space hogs safely and efficiently.

Full Transparency

No black box. The app shows you exactly how much space render, proxy, and optimized media files are taking up before you start the cleaning process.

Active Protection

FCP Cleaner protects your workflow. The software ensures that no database conflicts occur. Your valuable original files remain 100% untouched.

Native Performance

Built with modern Swift. Scan terabytes of data in seconds – optimized for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel-based Macs.

Smart Cleaning.
Safe storage for your Mac.

Deleting files manually in Finder is risky. FCP Cleaner precisely filters only the generated files that Final Cut Pro can regenerate at any time without loss.

Render Files & Caches Temporary preview files that eat up the most space. FCP Cleaner identifies them reliably in every library.
Proxy Media & Helper Files Low-resolution copies for smooth editing. These can be safely removed after your project is exported.
Optimized Media & Analysis Data Safely manage ProRes transcodes and data from optical flow or stabilization analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Final Cut Pro Libraries

No, never. FCP Cleaner does not touch your "Original Media" folders. Only generated files (Render, Proxy, High Quality Media) are deleted, which Final Cut Pro can recover losslessly at any time if needed.

Yes, this is an important safety precaution. To allow FCP Cleaner to efficiently release the system's "purgable space," all active access to the library must be interrupted. The app checks this automatically for you to guarantee maximum stability and maximum storage gain.

Absolutely. In Expert Mode (Pro version), the app recursively scans entire SSDs, RAIDs, or server volumes for FCP libraries, caches, and orphaned files.
