[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1608173"] Well, if each leaves behind, let's say, 2K of debris, and if you installed and uninstalled 500 programs, that would still total only 1M of storage. Since the OS doesn't have to DO anything with a file on the drive, in operation the impact is effectively zero. What CAN impact performance is the buildup of cache and log files, for which running Onyx once or twice a year is the perfect solution. Bottom line, I haven't "cleaned" my HD on my Macs, ever. I do run Onyx about twice a year. OSX isn't Windows where you have to spend a lot of time just in maintenance of the OS itself. [/QUOTE]
