No, I'm not new, and no, I'm not asking where Add/Remove Programs. Quite the contrary.
I often see people suggesting AppZapper or some such removal program. I've never used such an application; I've always done my housecleaning manually, if at all. Usually I just don't bother.
Today, for the first time in at least six months (possibly a year or so) I collected the "droppings" of all the applications I've deleted in a folder and Got Info.
It totaled a whopping 22.5 megs, or less than 0.04% of my hard drive. Woohooo. That was certainly worth my time.
I know some apps, like GarageBand, take up hundreds of megabytes outside of the /Applications folder. (I removed all traces of GarageBand pretty soon after I got my system.) So my question is, what other apps are there that take up enough space, outside of the Applications folder, to justify the effort of running AppZapper or the like?
