Many are the users who only worry about tidying up their Mac, when the system starts, again and again, to send them messages informing them about the need to clean up our hard drive. The first thing to do in these cases is to check which are the applications that we have installed and which we really need.
Applications with GarageBand or the iWork office suite occupy a large amount of space on our hard drive, so if we only have them installed just in case, we can proceed to delete them and install them when we really need them. The second step to follow is search for duplicate files on our hard drive.
