Feeing up HD space

[bradc2011]

Looking at my HD in OS X 10.6, I see that my Library and Private folders are 12.36GB and 7.23GB, respectively. Is there an app I can use to quickly and easily zap unneeded files in those folders (or others on my drive; those two are the two biggest, after my Users folder, which is 23.66GB)?

Thanks.

Take a look at DiskInventory X, OmniDiskSweeper, JDisk Report or GrandPerspective to see where your HDD space exactly went to.
It may be application support files.

Is CleanMyMac legit BTW, because I've seen it advertised tons on MacRumors.

One app that I would not recommend, based on the number of complaints that have been posted in this forum and elsewhere, is CleanMyMac. As an example: CleanMyMac cleaned too much

I was thinking that. Macrumors should (if they haven't already) pull CleanMyMac from their ad pool.
