Hard Drive Utility for cleaning up?
Is there a good freeware utility for cleaning up a OS X 10.3.9 ? I want to be able to get ride of some large files that a taking up most of my 80 gb HD. The Apple FINDER does not always show file size without going thru more steps. I just thought there might be a quick way to scan thru HD for large files or sort by file size?

Thanks Dan

Change the Finder Preference settings:
1. Highlight the Hard disk-Root icon.
2. Go to the View menu and select "as List".
3. Go the the View menu and select "Show View Options".
4. At the top of the list, check "All Windows".
5. At the bottom of the list, check "Calculate All Sizes".

Once you have your views set this way, open a window in List view and sort by Size.
