| Nov 20, 2014 at 1:53 | comment | added | ICL1901 | Thanks all, I tried almost all of these and loved DaisyDisk. So that's my choice. I appreciate the help. | |
| Nov 19, 2014 at 23:11 | comment | added | ghoppe | @Mark Thanks for adding OmniDiskSweeper, I've also used that and it works well. But what you've said about DaisyDisk and GrandPerspective is not true. DaisyDisk has a drop location where you can collect unwanted files for deletion. GrandPerspective has a delete button on the toolbar as well. | |

| Nov 19, 2014 at 23:06 | comment | added | mmmmmm | These do a different thing - they just tell you the size of each directory and its sub directories - some e.g. OmniDiskSweeper allow you to delete (not Trash) any selected directory tree see apple.stackexchange.com/a/5360/237 for more | |

| Nov 19, 2014 at 22:56 | comment | added | ICL1901 | Thanks - I'll look into those two. In the past, I've bought some apps that are supposed to "clean-up" after deleting programs, but I found those rather unreliable. I presume these are better... Have you used either of them? | |
