Not for me, but helps with cluttered download folders, I hear. One month later, delete the 'quarantine' directory. if you use such software) and move them out from that 'quarantine' once you need them. Most applications can be moved around directories, so if you suffer from application overload, move your own applications to a different one and remove them from the Dock (preferably one not indexed by your application launcher, i.e. Trash their contents (although I find both rather useful, so YMMV). Read into which directories are excluded by default from Time Machine (you don't see them in the preference pane!), I am pretty sure Logs and Caches are among them. Now we're getting very much into subjective territory: Use Disk Inventory X (free) or DaisyDisk (non-free but pretty) to look around your whole disk to see where your storage went. There is no '100%' solution, and since you keep on installing/trying/uninstalling there's really no point.Ĭheck the LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons directories within your user library and the /Library, as well as the Accounts preference pane in System Preferences.app for unnecessary Login Items Use a tool like Disk Inventory X or DaisyDisk, point it at ~/Library/Application Support and nuke anything with more that X MB (I'd recommend 10) you don't recognize or no longer use.

Keep the files around another month in case you start an application and have an unexpected first-launch experience. Simply start any application once you install. Anything unused in the last X weeks/months can go.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and sort by modification date.
