What Umate Pro can do for you

  • Help you delete all the unnecessary files that accumulate with time. Such files include hidden junk files, temporary files, app caches, cookies, crash logs etc.
  • Delete other large files such as photos, videos and apps. You can mass delete such files saving you a significant amount of time.
  • Furthermore, if you do not feel like deleting your photos, you can even compress them and export to your PC using Umate Pro.
  • In terms of protecting your privacy, iMyFone Umate Pro lets you erase files that you have already deleted. This is because files that you delete can normally be accessed using various methods. iMyFone removes such files by overwriting them thus making it impossible for anyone to retrieve them.
