Clean up Your Mac before you Install Leopard
Well our friend MacWorld has some amazing tips for you to install Leopard on your existing Mac. There are quite a few gems in there and I suggest you read through them if you are planning to upgrade to Leopard the moment it comes out on the 26th. Well the steps might actually look quite silly, first of all I would suggest you clean up your hard drive, remove apps you don’t use anymore and a host of other things that you should do to have your Mac running as smooth as it’s been running now. .
Well there are things that are hidden for the average user like the hidden corners of the hard disk that have accumulated a lot of dust over the past few months of usage. Well if you want to start clean then read through this,
- In /Library, /Library/Application Support, ~/Library, and ~/Library/Application Support, look for folder names matching applications you no longer use, and delete them.
- Your /Library and ~/Library folders may contain other folders that store components of third-party utilities. Look in Application Enhancers, Bundles, Contextual Menu Items, InputManagers, and PreferencePanes for any system enhancements you no longer use, and drag them to the Trash.
