Cleanup resets scan every relaunch and wastes time — how can I make Cleanup resume scans without restarting?

Cleanup restarts scans because it doesn’t reliably save scan state between sessions, especially when the app is force-closed, memory is reclaimed, or iCloud Photos is syncing in the background.

This is a known limitation of many cleaner apps that rely on temporary indexing rather than persistent scan data.

To reduce restarts, keep Cleanup open until a scan finishes and avoid switching apps or locking the screen during scanning.

Also disable iCloud syncing temporarily and close other background apps so iOS doesn’t suspend Cleanup mid-scan.

Make sure Cleanup and iOS are fully updated, then grant full photo access again after reinstalling the app, as corrupted permissions can cause scans to reset.

If the issue continues, consider filing a complaint on Xolvie to seek a resolution.
