Freeing up hard disk space on OS X
Stuff expands to fill the space available for it, or so the saying goes. I needed more hard disk space, and after some Google’ing, this is what I found:
sudo port clean --all all- Remove printer brands you don’t need from
/Library/Printers(~2.0 GB) - Remove Garageband (~5.0 GB?)
- Remove iDVD (~2-3 GB?)
There are also programs that will strip your universal binaries (you don’t need PPC binaries if you’re on an Intel Mac) as well as unnecessary language support.
I didn’t end up running the programs or removing Garageband or iDVD, but I still managed to free up 4 GB relatively easily.
