FYI: Free up some space

So I decided to try to figure out how to fee up some space on my PowerBook. What I figured out was that each app has between 10 and 20 different languages installed along with it. What I started to do is delete the extra languages that I don't know from each app. There are a few apps that will do this for you. I have played around with Xslimmer a little but I like doing it manually.

Here is how I did it:

1. Open 'Applications'
   
2. Hold control and click an app (or right click it if you have a two-button mouse)
   
3. Click 'Get Info'
   
4. Expand the 'Languages' section
   
5. Hold command and select all the languages you don't use
   
6. Click 'Remove'
   
7. Click 'Continue'
   

I did this with only about 27 apps and reclaimed almost 1.2GB.

WARNING: Some apps check for integrity before opening so either make a backup of the app first or don't do it if you aren't sure.
