Deleting apps

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?

The only one I know of is garageband as you stated. I found about 2Gigs of data for garageband in the shared folder/directory.

There is a program, although I can't remember what it is that will delete a bunch of the languages installed with OSX.

I believe all the languages take up a bit of space so I deleted most of mine.

i saved about a gig and a half deleting the iwork trial.

this thread details the manual work to remove it completely too - without the use of an uninstaller program.

Thanks for the thread reference, eric! I just did the same (mine had long since expired) and it saved me 2G total. I'd have rep'd you if it would let me. I guess you're too popular.

As for the language stuff, the program I used -- which eric pointed out to me, I'm pretty sure -- was Monolingual.

Theres Monolingual, and Delocalizer. I've always used Delocalizer with mine, but there probably isnt much difference.

That's it, thanks StretchR!
