Omnidisksweeper For El Capitan
Who doesn’t love a Mac OS X computer or who doesn’t eagerly wait for the arrival of new OS X for Mac. This time El Capitan 10.11 is the next big thing for Mac users and the best part is of this version is its free availability from App Store. Mac owners are rapidly upgrading to OS X 10.11 and experiencing all of its godliness. Here is the basic guide on how to upgrade to El Capitan from an older version. But before you start downloading OS X EL Capitan make sure you have either Time Machine backup of your Mac or a clone copy, else both.
You might need more free stuff
For Mac OS X 10.8 to OS X 10.11, (Mt. Lion to El Capitan) download version 1.9. For Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, (Snow Leopard and Lion) download version 1.8. For Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, (Tiger and Leopard) download version 1.7.2. Install the said software and as it asks to put it in Applications. Instead, do the following exactly. Thanks for the explanation, still i don’t quite understand something. When i delete files, a part of the filesize of that file adds to the “other” thing, why does it do that and how do i make it stop doing that. “other” folder is 125 GB which i have no idea what is, the “omnidisksweeper” found 200+ gb of stuff, but it didn’t show it, it only showed maybe 10 gb of things, the.
Yes, once you have upgraded to OS X 10.11 and started all your professional and personal computing on it, you will need some more freebies. I am talking of some free Disk Management utilities that can provide additional support to your Mac. Disk, Utility!! Yes, it’s there for you always but you might need some more help in order to organize, maintain and manager your Mac hard drive that is running El Capitan.
I have long trusted below apps that can usually do wonders on Mac OS X. Sometimes they perform better than OS X’s own bunch of tools.

- Onyx (Trust comes first)
Onyx has been long serving Mac OS X since OS X 10.2 Jaguar to 10.10 Yosemite. Its newest version, which will support OS X El Capitan, will roll out soon. Onyx performs tasks similar to Mac’s own Disk Utility:
- Verify startup disk

- Uninstalls applications
- Build up databases
- Manage Finder, iTunes, Login, Dock, Browser (Safari)
- Cleanup Caches from Boot, Kernel, Extensions, Preferences, Quick Time, Audio and other components
- Omnidisksweeper
The name of this app actually communicates its functionality for OS X. This free app will list up and sweep all that is unnecessary, cluttered on Mac hard disk drive. Omnidisksweeper sounds so helpful since garbage data collection is inevitable on any version of Mac OS X. Ultimately you will look for an app that may offer you support by showing the files as per their file sizes. This is how its works

Perhaps I too should develop a whole set of GUI apps that are fancy wrappers for basic terminal commands and make money off it.
Hi,
As the developer of the mentioned app, allow me to answer :-)
First, wrappers around GUI tools are not new. That's what tools like Tinkertools and many others just do. Heck, even good ol' Disk Utility does this : in a way, you may consider that the Repair Permissions button was just a wrapper around diskutil.
However, the commodity of a GUI CAN'T be denied. Otherwise we would still be working on DOS and happy with that. I developed this tool just to see if I could do it with Applescript and command line tools, as I am a scripter guy, not a 'real' developer (and I'm totally OK with that). It was more of a challenge for myself. Besides, DiskMaker X adds a few things, like customizing the icon according to the OS you chose, finding it automatically on your hard drive, adding a custom background, and adding the version of the OS in the name of the disk. A few things createinstallmedia does not :-)
Then, I decided that I could try to share it, *free of charge*. And that was just fair.
Then someone suggested that I could put some donation button for it. Well, why not ? But the whole process remained *free*. At the end, you just decide if it is valuable or not by paying, or not. No pressure.
And yes, a *lot* of people decided to pay, because it made the process more convenient for them, easier than using some command line. See, Ars Technica readers are quite knowledgeable, but for them, the whole process seems a lot scarier and prone to error than clicking a button and let the process go (*). And hey, if people still want to use it without paying, no problem. I don't put a gun on the head of the user, they chose to pay according to the value they put in the software. Sometimes, people pay a *lot* of money (think about a hundred dollars !), because they just put this price in the value of the software. And sometimes, people just send one dollar, adding in comments 'I don't have much money, but your software made the process really easy for me'. Again, I did *not* request any payment. It's a user's choice. Also, I'm not stealing money here, and I provide free support to every user who could have an issue (sometimes, not even problems due to using DiskMaker X !). Also, I tried to provide Day 1 support for each new version of OS X since 2012, and (almost) managed to do it. DiskMaker X was updated on Wednesday a mere few minutes after El Capitan was available. Hell, even Office 2011 is not ready yet :-D
So, that's it. And yes, if you can make a good wrapper around a tool, it can make good money, as long as you keep being honest with your users about what you do, and provide good support. DiskMaker X has 5 stars on Macupdate, and I paid nobody to get them :-D
