I've had my MacBook for about 6 months or so..I feel that it's full of stuff it doesn't need and is just taking up space..I need to know how should I clean it and would you Recommend reseting it back to the way I first got it? How do i do that?

anything you dont "need" just put in the trash can!?

you can restore everything how it was the day you got it by using the cd's that came with your macbook..
 
The quickest and easiest way would be to erase, reformat and install the OS. Before the installation starts you can choose to remove unnecessary languages, print drivers and even the iLife suite if you don't want to use it. A reformat will also remove any downloaded files lying around that you are unaware of and possibly any corrupted files. That's my recommendation but others may chime in recommending some slimming tools.
