I can indeed understand your sentiment also. Hence my description of my behavior bordering on something close to OCD. I think I get that "feeling of clutter" a lot more easily than many people :P For whatever reason though, I guess I don't

I've been using Hazel with OS X for a while now to further facilitate my bordering on obsessive compulsive desire to keep my machine clean. Hazel takes care of preference files etc. that can be left over after trashing a piece of software o
