somewhere that just trashing 'em doesn't free up much space; some app is
needed to do that. If this is correct, can you advise which app I should

Hi Nolan,
I use AppDelete all the time successfully to delete applications. It
takes out all those little-known additional files that just deleting
the application from the Applications Folder doesn't get rid of. It
costs a minimal amount.

Nolan, if you are just concerned about permanently removing all traces of
files/folders from your hard drive, and not deleting programs, here is some
info from apple's site...

Even after you empty the Trash, deleted files
Nolan, another option, aside from what others have suggested is ShreddIt X.
Here is a link for you to look at and see what the program does. Take note
there is a trial/demo version available from the site.
