Cleaning up my MacBook

[Metric1]

I have a MacBook Pro that's going on 3 years old. I'm finally cleaning up some old files to see if it will speed it up! I currently have 22 GB free lol

If it doesn't work I'm afraid I'll be buying a new one :(

Deleting files won't speed anything up...

Just reinstall Mac OS X, it'll be like the day you got it. There's no reason why a MacBook Pro from 3 years ago can't still have a year or two of life left in it.

I really don't want to wipe it. I'd rather have 2 of them on the go so I can transfer the **** from one to the other. I have a lot of work saved on it, not to mention 8000+ songs...

Why don't you just back those files/songs onto an external hard-drive? would be much cheaper and wouldnt take too long.

Dropbox your work and legally purchase your music. Problem solved.

... you'd rather drop $1200 on a new laptop rather than spending an hour, two max, working on your current one for free... wow :|

When you said 'Cleaning up my Macbook' i was expecting something rather dirty,

We all know you'll just end up buying a new one anyway.
