Hi anyone know if there is any useful software to remove unwanted files from a MAC.

My hard drive is full :(

I will do the obvious and remove videos/files, but there must be loads of stuff on there i do not know i have or ever use.

Thanks

I'd be interested in the answer to this one - good question Toby, see you'e not a spare part :) - seems the computer gurus aren't up yet though

Xslimmer and MonolIngual are two I use - think the secret is I keep all Itunes data on an external and my 320gb still has 125gb+ despite installing 300+ applications (software freak)
AppZapper I use to delete apps (but as you can see, not used a lot!)

Xslimmer is a tool for Mac OS X that reduces the space claimed by Universal Binary applications, and their language localizations, on your hard disk, while preserving their full functionality. This is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture or your system preferences language selection.

Monolingual gets rid of foreign language files
