[QUOTE="Sherman Homan, post: 503495, member: 22094"] One word: Don't. All of the so called clean up programs depend ultimately on you making the decision as to what is kept and what is trashed. So they aren't any smarter than you. Some will go ahead and delete foreign language support. Makes sense right? You only need one language, so in the quest for a faster machine you delete Pre-Colombian Urgay language support. And as soon as you do, Rosetta stops working, MS Office won't launch and you are back to square one. Look at the Activity Monitor and see what is running. Look at the Page in/page out numbers after a day of use. Remember, having a billion files of stuff won't slow your Mac down. It only depends on what is running. [/QUOTE]
