User Library seems large

[oss1794]

My user library is 30GB and when I checked other users libraries on other mac the the were all like 300 MB. I only have a 75GB mac book pro so I am running out of space. Does this sound like somethings wrong? If so what should I do?

I'd have to look at your applications folder, for example. A user Library contains a lot of files used by applications, such as preferences, application support, fonts, widgets, scripts, etc. The number does seem high, but who knows what apps you have. Take a look at your Library and sort it by size. Then check what the largest files are.

One thing you can probably do is to run a good maintenance program. For example: MainMenu, Cocktail, MacJanitor. Eliminating font and browser caches could clean up unnecessary files in your library.
