Hello,

Not sure why CleanMyMac would try to "clean" those files, but it is probably giving you the error because those files are in protected folders. It may depend on which version of OS X/macOS you are running.

Those files are probably very small anyway. You could contact MacPaw Support, as they may know what the issue is.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Ahhh...that makes sense. I assume that making that change fixed the issue?

I met the same problem so now I use another program that is called "iMyMac PowerMyMac". It works fine and does not have this problem.
