| [HOWTO] - Gain Missing Disk Space Hello, I am Andrew, your friend, possibly enemy, or maybe aquaintence here at Macosx.com. Someone once told me where some of my missing hard disk space went. I was missing quite a bit. It is because of your Cache. Luckily I have found a little app that CLEANS your cache, and frees an amount of your disk space from the clutches of evil. You can download here, from version tracker: http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16494 Just download it, click demo, and save your disk space from evil CACHE!!!!! You don't need Cache, it's just useless files that are made for absolutely NO REASON! Good luck, Androo.

| Well the cache really is used to (as the name implies) to cache stuff. The reason it's there: to speed up daily activities. emptying your cache really isin't a big boost in performance, although it might free space in RAM, and temporary dirs. To get best performance out of your machine, it's best, i think, to get __more__ "RAM" |

| OK. cache right? i did a search in the finder for some files, which took forever. After 15 minutes i decided to relaunch the Finder. And now i lost about 600Mb. Where did it go? Is this also cached? |

| I would strongly suggest a program called Delocalizer or monolingual. These are superb freeware utils that clean out all the language kits we don't need. This saves tons of disk space. Cache is actually a good thing, it's what keeps your windows opening fast etc. |
