Hi Everyone!
My macbook has a 250gb drive in and i'm close to running out of space. Over the last 3 years I have accumulated loads and loads of software (freeware, etc)
Also, the system just seems to be untidy, sluggish etc
My idea is to wipe the drive clean, and do a clean install of leopard and then just recover the bits I need, and lose the rest.
Can anyone tell me how to do this. Searching the net I can only find ways of recovering the entire system using super duper/time machine.
I don't want to do this, I only want to recover the applications/settings I need.
I was going to delete the apps I don't want, do a backup then a full recover, but I'm worried that i'm just going to recover all the crappy hidden system files that i'm trying to get rid of !
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
