Hello, I am a huge firefox fan. Never use safari. Have never once used Garage Band, even on my old macbook. Can I delete these programs without harming my computer like with App cleaner or is this not safe to do?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah you can uninstall all of iLife if you really want to. There may be instances where you need to use Safari, though and it's always a good idea just to have more than one browser since some webpages display better on one over the other. I wouldn't really bother uninstalling any of this though, it's not like they take up much space at all. Safari is what, 50mb?
Garage band is fine to delete and frees a noticeable chunk of disk if you find it all.
I'd recommend keeping Safari. It's not that much disk space. And I've found web sites that were broken in Firefox that worked fine in Safari. (On 10.6.7, it's about 55 megs.)

If you are going to delete garageband, make sure you get all the 'extras'. You can download a free trial of appzapper to help, or use hazel with the clean sweep option. The former is just about the easiest way to remove associated files in os x, imo.
Alright thank you, I just put it in appcleaner and extra folders came up. Now, if I delete this will I never be able to get it back or do I just reinstall ilife 11?
Ok, thanks everyone, deleted Garage Band. Just got the computer a few days ago so I still have the install CDs. Will be sure to keep them. Lost them for my 5 year old MB.
