Example: our owl on a branch drawing, with a comment and a metadata block like the ones drawing programs write when they save. Drop your SVG to replace it.

Owl on a branch, the SVG with its metadata

3219 bytes · 22 elements · 6 paths. Canvas: 94 mm × 75.591 mm.

Before: 3219 bytes. After: 2849 bytes. Removed: 1 comment and 1 metadata block.

Only comments and metadata come out: paths are not simplified, and hidden shapes stay in the file.

Your file stays on your device; nothing is uploaded.

What you get

Cleaning removes comments and metadata. It does not simplify paths, flatten effects or remove hidden artwork. A larger output is possible when the XML serializer changes the markup.
