Hi

I bought my Mac in mid-2011, so it came with Lion. I've since then upgraded to Mountain Lion and now Mavericks (direct upgrades each time, no fresh install)

With Yosemite coming, I am wondering if it would be a good idea to do a completely fresh install, or if a good disk cleanup would be enough.

Obviously over the years I've installed/removed a lot of apps. Coming from a Windows environment before, that would mean a clean reinstall is always a good idea but I don't know if the same is true on a Mac

thanks,
