Use http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ to remove unwanted languages - DO NOT remove anything else with it.


Install http://links.zero.eu.org/os-x/period/ to clear out very old log files etc


Paste the following into open Terminal (in Utilities) window and then hit return - give password when asked and hit return again - takes a while but it will list your 100 largest files:


cd / ; sudo du -caxk .[!.]* *| sort -rn | head -100


Keep backups on an external drive.


Put photos on DVDs and not your Mac.
