Clean My WeChat is a desktop utility that automatically removes cached files, videos, and images downloaded by the WeChat application on Windows and Mac computers.
The tool addresses the problem of WeChat accumulating large amounts of cached data from group chats and message exchanges, which can consume tens of gigabytes of storage over time. It works by identifying all WeChat and Enterprise WeChat accounts on the system, allowing users to configure which file types to delete and set a time threshold for removal. Deleted files are moved to the recycle bin rather than permanently erased, giving users a chance to recover files if needed before final deletion.
The tool suits users whose WeChat installations have grown substantially and who want to reclaim disk space without manually navigating cache directories. It preserves text chat history, deleting only media and file attachments. The project supports all WeChat versions including recent releases and Enterprise WeChat on both Windows and Mac platforms. Users can configure deletion by file type, set age thresholds for files, and enable periodic automatic cleanup.
The project shows active maintenance across both Windows and Mac versions, with updates addressing compatibility with newer WeChat releases. Development has expanded platform support to cover Enterprise WeChat alongside standard WeChat, and the tool has evolved to handle the latest application versions. The project provides prebuilt binaries for both operating systems through multiple distribution channels.
