I follow a very nice Facebook Page called: Mac OS X Tiger PPC and they post useful material that I felt obliged to share with you here.
They basically show that we have printer drivers installed that we don’t use, which can be found in Hard Drive/Library/Printers. Carefully remove the folders for printers that you don’t use and you will likely save over 1GB of hard drive space!
A second tip to maximize your system is an application called IceClean, which is a powerful system maintenance and optimization tool using UNIX built-in System.
* IceClean 3.4.8 – PowerPC friendly – 10.4 (Tiger) / 10.5 (Leopard) – Powerful and simple – http://www.macdentro.com/MacDentro/Home.html
I use CleanMyMac 1.10.10 on my G5 PPC 10.5 and it’s awesome.
I’ve been using Onyx, is this a similar application?
We should say these applications they all helps.
I have wiped off the .lproj folders of unused languages (for me : all but english and french) lying in all the apps packages in Applications and Utilities folders, it can also save about 1GB on your hard drive (although somewhat time-consuming with mouse and keyboard, I couldn’t find an application suited for this purpose).
1. View the content of the package of an application (Ctrl + click on the icon) ;
2. Type ‘ .lproj ‘ in the search field and click on the search icon ;
3. Select all .lproj folders in the list except these of the languages you use and put them in the trash ;
Repeat this for every application in the Applications and Utilities folder, and remind emptying the trash afterwards.
This is great. Thank you for sharing! :D
