Mac: How to Clear Off Your Desktop

How many of you are tired of the clutter on your desktop?

Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed every time you need to find an important file?

Clearing off your desktop doesn’t have to be a monumental task, and can be done in three clicks on a Mac:

1. Click on an empty spot on your desktop to make sure the Finder is active (the name Finder should appear in the top menu bar next to the apple on the left); 

2. Click on the “View” menu option at the very top bar on your screen; 

3. Navigate your cursor down to “Clean Up By

4. In the pop up window, click on “Kind.”

5. BONUS TIP: If you are on Mac OS Mojave or later, you can choose “Use Stacks” for an even cleaner desktop!
