Nathaniel Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'm just looking around and see lots of files that I doubt I'll ever use. The developer folder, an various drivers, et cetera. I was wondering if anyone knows which files aren't essential to running OS X. I hate having unused system files.

Daisuke Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 If you aren't going to code, you can delete /Developer /Library /System /Applications /Users and the hidden folders, are all essential.

Nathaniel Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Thanks. Knew all the essential ones, but was curious if there were things within /Library that weren't so important.

miranda363 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 the ATI, NVIDIA and GFORCE kexts from /System/Library/Extensions apparently don't work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4246-which-files-are-safe-to-delete/#findComment-28282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
