I just downloaded a trial copy of the $30 disk clean-up tool Tidy Up! from Hyperbolic Software.
It seems to work all right, though I will need to be certain before letting it rampage through all my files. (It will work on a specific volume or computer or on any linked volumes.) Anyone have any experience with this? Any other similar software? __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

It seems to me that these tools have some danger of removing something important to an application with an unusual file extension. Before running, I would suggest a full backup with a software tool that lets you do a restore of particular files. |

My problem is that over the years I have just copied files from one computer to the next without cleaning up. The drives keep getting bigger, and it was always the easy way to go. But now I have iterations and reiterations of the same files as I merged more and more computers. Now is it just plain silly. I thought a utility would give me a list of duplicates, and I could dump a bunch of them. We shall see. I get a short trial with this thing. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

The only similar thing I've used was a freeware utility, called--IIRC--"Unilingual", which goes through your system folders and removes foreign language files (Serbo-Croat, Finnish, Swahili, Klingon, etc.).
I saw it recommended in a MacWorld magazine article. I ran it and it caused no grief. |
