Cleaning out MBP

[Macaroooon]

I'm trying to clean our my MPB a little as it's getting slow (for other reasons too..)

I want to see what is taking up space on my mac and found a fab app, called 'disc.. something.. and I can't remember what it was!

Any ideas or tips for helping cleaning my mac out?

To find out, where you storage capacity is being used, you can use the following free applications:

• DiskInventory X
• OmniDiskSweeper
• JDisk Report
• GrandPerspective

Maybe try a combination of several, if you still can't find the "missing" capacity.

If you want to enhance the performance of your Mac, be sure to check these two articles, do not just use applications, that promise to do it for you.

Cleaning MBP options

A few of the most basic tricks you can try first to speed up your Mac are cleaning the desktop, emptying the trash, and sprucing your Mac up a bit by trimming applications and widgets. These are all easy tricks you can use to fix a Mac that is running slow. You should also check your memory, a bigger memory will speed your Mac up, but should be added as a last resort after you have tried everything else. If you want a free app to clean and optimize your mac you can use onyx mac.
