I don't know if one exists, but you can search for stuff according to type of file and file size... command-F will bring up a spotlight search window and you can add or remove as many search criteria as you want.

None of these will tell you if a file is "unused"- you'll have to make that decision yourself.

Yeah... they don't really tell you if they are unused... you just have to make some decisions.. like deleting old podcasts that are no longer wanted... or some duplicates of music...

I have been using sponge...

Although... I think that since "Omni Disk Sweeper" has become freeware... it is definitely worth a look...!!!

Whatsize

Whatsize is the best app for what you're asking for I shaved a good 2 gigs of file using it

I second the spotlight search. If you use the right keywords, it can be very powerful. I only wish I knew what they were....
