Hey, I'm not really good with computers..well I guess that's why I'm here
Over the past two years (since I've gotten my laptop), I've accumulated a whole mess of crap on my computer. I go to school, so generally I have tons of documents, pdf files, screenshots, etc. etc. littering my computer.
I've never been too careful with keeping my desktop clean.. and I do seem to recall once in a while just highlighting a whole mess of stuff and dragging it to the Macintosh HD file where it all just magically disappeared, conveniently out of my life.
Anyways, I recently went to Finder and clicked on "All Documents", and nearly had a heart attack when I saw the thousands of random documents, previous projects, etc. etc. I saw cluttered there. Ideally my laptop would be able to get rid of such useless things so I could have as much free space as possible, but when I dragged some of the stuff to trash, and emptied the trash, their icons still appeared in Finder.
Is there any way I can clear out this stuff?
thanks in advance

PS- It says I had to choose a "prefix" for this thread.. so I just clicked OS 10.3 although in actuality I have no idea if that is correct or not. I didn't think it would make too much of a difference though
