Advanced macOS power users often turn to Terminal commands like rm -rf or low-level Unix script runners to clean hidden caches. While effective in experienced hands, running raw maintenance scripts carries significant risks.
The Risk of Terminal Commands
A misplaced space in a terminal command or clearing the wrong system property list can delete saved application states, reset dock configurations, or trigger lengthy Spotlight re-indexing that causes your Mac to lag for hours.
