    Here is a guide to uninstalling apps in OS X.

    As for the preinstalled apps, you'll find that GarageBand and its associated loops, iDVDs themes, and printer drivers take up a lot of space. Some people prefer to just wipe their machine and do a custom install of only the OS X components they want. It's effective, but not entirely necessary.

    You can use a tool like WhatSize or OmniDiskSweeper to find large folders.
