How to clean out unwanted files
I switched to my Mini (Monterey) and it had less storage space than my old iMac and and I had to squeeze it all in. I would like to reduce the amount of space it takes up on the HD.
I think a large proportion of disk space is taken up by detritus from twenty years of hopping from one Mac to another using Migration Assistant. The executables are gone but all the other little orphan files are dispersed all over the hard disk. I have AppCleaner but that appears to only recognize the actual executables…or does it do more? Is there software that can clean out all the garbage left over from twenty years of use where the main program is missing, or should I start anew with a clean disk and add all my stuff (from backup) piecemeal to it?
