Remove garageband too for a quick boost in space.

Don't forget to whack the files in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand too. There's ~1.5GB in loops there.

Click to expand... Yep! If you backup with an external harddrive (i.e. time machine), you should disable local snapshots via the terminal. I cut 10gb that way.
