I'm aware of that. My question was more directed at cleaning and defragmenting the hard drive. In a recent experience of setting up a Mac for my sister in law, I downloaded updates for Leopard OS and other software (Quicktime and ITunes) as well as installing some third party software. These downloads will create fragmentation over a period of time, and will decrease the efficiency of the hard drive. Since not all software install and uninstall is well behaved, there are sometimes temporary and obsolete files left on the hard drive which take up space and promote fragmentation. I was just curious if any Mac users addressed these two issues.
