Various files left by apps I deleted last year

Hi

I'm trying to find an app that searches for files left by apps, that I
maybe have tried and just deleted the icon, and forgot about the files
lying in app.support i.e, or other places.

I DL'ed AppTrap for future deletions, but for the old ones...

Is there an app that can find these files that are probably not beeing
used anyway?

Ok thanks

I just remember from my windows day (oh the dark days of yesteryear)
that filling up the register with junk consumed lots of resources.

Is that a problem with mac as well?

Rarely. Mac applications typically write some files to the user's
home folder (preferences, a few caches, etc.) Some might also write
stuff to /Library/Application Support or to ~/Library/Application
Support. When you trash the app, these leftover files will just sit
on your hard drive unused. They don't consume any system resources
other than disk space, and the disk space they do consume is usually
insignificant.

There are exceptions. Norton Internet Security 2.0 installed all
sorts of junk all over my system that I was still finding years after
I thought I had removed it all.
