![]() | MAClean is small Utility to delete the files created by MAC OS if a memory card is mounted as a drive. It cleans up all the unused files on the Memory card that are not used by a PalmOS™ device. It keeps your memory card lean (Call it MAC-lean or MA-Clean). |
Features:
| |
The following files and directories are deleted:
| |
![]() | That is how the application look like if you start it from your favorite launcher. |
![]() |
Select the Card you like to clean up. Most devices just support on Memory card at a time. Handera330 or some Sony Clie™ may list more than one card.
Select "delete '._*' files" to delete hidden files starting with > ._ <. Those files mess up some music player.
Choose "run on card mount" if MAClean should run when ever you insert a memory card in the slot of the PalmOS enabled device. |

After you hit the "clean" button, the application starts to delete the above mentioned files. The process can be canceld at any time. Already processed files are deleted anyway. They will not be restored!

Don't forget to backup your data before using it.
Before using that piece of software make a complete backup of you device (and make sure that the restore will work !). I prefer pilot-xfer or SmartBackup for that job.
Altough i am quite carefull, there might be a bug.
Tested on Palm OS 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 5.0.
