Is 'Reset Safari...' enough?

[MacRumors' FAN]

If you click on Safari in the menu bar and then click on 'Reset Safari ...' (all checked) is enough to make Safari as it was when you had turned your Mac for the first time (are there folders which belong to Safari so that you should move them in the trash? or is 'Reset Safari...' enough to delete everything of Safari?)?
As you can read in the title, it is just a question for information. However, let me know your answers (do not reply if you are not sure of your own answer).

What version of Safari are you running?

I don't have that option...

The latest version

The latest version

So am I. I am running Yosemite (as you can tell by the dark menu bar).

I would say no.

What it'll do is remove all cookies, and clear the cache and history, however anything in the keychain will remain.

You can deal with this by following the steps here...

I have just installed OS X Yosemite: no more that option.

Are there ways with latest versions?

No its not always enough to make sure everything is deleted.

I use Reset Safari a lot but it does not always clear everything.

If you want to clear everything download a program called CCleaner (there is a paid and free version) DO NOT BUY IT! (the free version is the same as the paid version) but without auto checking for updates!

You can download it here https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

It will also clean many other parts of you system, like old crash logs etc etc

I would not suggest anyone to install that app, because as GGJstudios recommends the only option is uninstalling manually. Maybe I am wrong...

I hope a solution

I don't use it to uninstall APP's only to clear the history from Safari

I've been using CCleaner for years now, and no issues what so ever. It is my preferred cleaning program and it is so for many others.

Hmmm, I wouldn't bother.

I prefer something slightly less invasive, like Onyx.

I would not bother with Onyx, as its to been updated in over a year. CCleaner normally sees an update every 6 - 12 months!

To be honest I don't think you can argue with the following.

CNET editors gave the application a rating of 5/5 stars, calling it a 'must have tool'. It was awarded Editor's Choice Award in April 2009 by CNET. As of January 2014, it has been the most popular software on FileHippo for more than a year, and also has a 5-star editor's rating on Softpedia.

Last release of Onyx was 18/10/2014 according to MacUpdate. The Yosemite one is in development and should be release shortly.

Also I have bad experiences of CCleaner for Windows so I may have some mistrust from that.

Looks like your right Oxny has been updated, Sorry!

I also had problems with the windows version and was worried to use the Mac version, but I did try and everything has been perfect for sometime now! Much better then the Windows version (i have not used windows for 5+ years tho

So to OP download or try both see how you get on with each program and continue to use the one your happy with!
