    For my first noob post...

    is there a program that helps with the removal of unused files in your hard drive, sort of like a disk cleanup utility? I've been looking all over the net but can't seem to find any.

    Cocktail is really nice too. I especially like the "Rebuild Launch Services database" feature. Solves the problem of having duplicates listed when you ctrl-click (or right-click) on a file and choose "Open With..."
