Try using an App called ONYX that should help

Enjoi is right, I switched from Mac Keeper to ONYX and it is much more efficient!!!!!

Too many to list. Typically use an Intel iMac for most of my stuff and a Mini for web video.
Empty the trash! ;)

Onyx is a great program. I have used it often myself but in this case I think I would start with WhatSize as ChsCag suggested. Onyx will get rid of useless cruft and unnecessary log files easily but the files it finds easily are not going to add up to 40 GB of space.
