Before anything moves, Wombit shows the whole plan: each item, its size, what it is and what removing it would mean. Below is that review for a test Mac, the same one the screenshots show. You can change it, and nothing here touches your Mac.

How to read it
- Safe items start checked. Their owner recreates them by itself, and nothing you made is lost.
- Usually safe and Review first items wait for you. They come back only after a download, a reinstall or a rebuild, or they're your own data, so you decide item by item.
- Never touched rows show a lock and the reason: a place the app refuses, or a folder no rule explains. See What it never touches.
- At most, with the tools' own commands: when a tool has its own cleanup command, the app runs it instead of deleting the tool's files. Those sizes are an upper bound, since a command removes only what nothing uses.
Select a row to read the rule behind it: what the item is, what happens when it's removed, and how the app removes it.
In the app
The app's review sheet works the same way, and every way into a cleanup ends there. Nothing runs until you click its button. See Cleanup, the Trash and undo.
Finding and explaining everything is free, and so is opening the review. Running a cleanup is part of PRO.
