OptimUSB
OptimUSB is a simple Mac utility that helps keep USB drives and memory cards clean and optimized. The app removes temporary system files that macOS automatically creates on external drives, such as .DS_Store, .Trashes, .Spotlight-V100, and other hidden files that can clutter storage devices. Users typically run OptimUSB before ejecting their USB drives to ensure they're clean and ready for use on other systems. It's particularly useful for people who frequently move USB drives between Mac and Windows computers, as it eliminates Mac-specific files that can appear as clutter on other platforms.

You can update to the latest version through the Mac App Store or download it directly from the developer. The current version should run natively on your Apple Silicon Mac without requiring Rosetta 2.
