Expert's Review
Without root, functionality is limited given that SD Maid won't have access to all necessary directories. Even if got a rooted devices, use it at own risk.
This is a Android system cleaner that cleans even the most remote corners. And that's necessary because sometimes, when you uninstall apps, Android OS cannot remove everything and leave data behind (folders, cache, logs...). This data could make the system unstable.
The app is divided 10 tabs. First off, from "Start" tab you'll get general info of your device, specially data usage. It includes a "Explorer" which is a directory. You can move, copy, delete or rename apps. What's more, there's a searcher for contains and root data (root search only available in the Pro version). From "Appcontrol" tab you'll be able to see a list of installed app. Tap one of them and you'll be able to start app, freeze it, remove app, remove app but keep is data or reset app to install status.
"Corpse find" tracks your directory and shows you those folders or files that an app left behind after uninstalling and you don't need. The system cleaner scans the devices known directories with unnecessary files. "Optimize DBs" checks databases and allows you to shrink bloated databased to speed up access and free space. And finally "Misc" from where you can clean Market history, view files that have been modified in the last X minutes or Show top50 biggest files. There are two features only available in the Pro version: Clean apps and Duplicates.
If you're root and want to spare time cleaning up your device, this is a wonderful option. Layout isn't stunning, but perfomance does. And that's what really matters.
Without root, functionality is limited as SD Maid won't have access to all necessary directories.
This is a powerful tool! Use at own risk!
Nobody is perfect and Android neither.
Apps you have already deleted, sometimes leave data behind.
The system constantly creates logs, crash reports and debug files you don't really need.
The market leaves temporary files of downloaded apps behind.
Lets not go on here...
Why not get a maid to clean it all up? SD maid will help you keep your device neat, clean and tidy for you :)!
Choose a tab, press check and then either click a single item to delete or press the clean all button. It's just that easy.
The explorer is a full fledged filemanager, use it to crawl through your Androids files.
You can use the searcher to open/delete or rename files (wildcards are supported as is searching inside files).
The corpse finder searches your device for dormant directories and compares those to the list of installed applications.
App Control lets you freeze,reset and remove applications (even system apps).
The system cleaner scans the devices known directories with unnecessary files.
You can optimize and shrink bloated databases to speed up access and free space.
View your biggest files and find out what is hogging all the space.
10 features are currently available in the free version and an additional 2 can be unlocked by buying and installing the unlocker.
SD Maid is constantly being developed and is designed very carefully.
Due to the vast amount of android devices it might not work perfectly on everyones device, but i'm working hard to get it there. If you have questions or concerns send me a mail (support@thedarken.eu). I usually respond quite quick and will happily help you out.
