"Cleaning" apps and other "speed optimizers" usually run counter to the way Android is designed and actually slow down the phone.

If your phone seems to be losing space, it is most likely due to cache files from your web browser and social media apps. These can be deleted from
Settings > General > Apps

Lately there has been some chatter about some messaging apps taking up way too much space with their cache.
