My Mac hard drive is badly cluttered and I suspect lots of junk is accumulated on my drive. How can I clean this Mac safely?

Best to use some Apps here to do the job. But before you start make sure you have a good backup!
The last thing I would do here is clear out any old files so I have at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the disk free. This will minimize file fraging and will offer your system needed swap space.
You may also want to think about upping the RAM to 8GB if it isn't already and review what is running within Activity Monitor. I would be careful here stopping or deleting processes until you understand what it is doing and which app it maybe part of.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
