I'm less thrilled about space just being wasted to provide me no value at all. And I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.

For people like you there are free, easy-to-use, effective tools available for purging the stuff you don't want. For everyone else who doesn't care, it's a non-problem.

There are people "like me" in the sense that they like to keep their disks lean, but are not like me in that they are not as aware of all the ways in which disk space is being wasted. And many of them would be happy for those files to not be there, but they aren't comfortable deleting them because they are not as savvy about such things as you and I.


But you've missed my point, which is that this is just another area in which we turn a blind eye to those who can't afford the latest and greatest thing, in this case, big cheap hard drives. Bandwidth is cheap, hard drive space is cheap, any one who doesn't agree doesn't matter.
