Xslimmer
Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Universal Binary applications preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version.
Xslimmer is a new and user-friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
In addition, Xslimmer can strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Now fully Leopard compatible!

My machine is only two weeks old and I just cleared more than 2gb from it.
All time savings: 13.1 GB. Fantastic app!
Does exactly what it says, and does that very fast and without any hassle for the user. I had no problems whatsoever. A pure delight and worth every penny, especially for me on a MacBook Pro with limited harddrive space.
Groxx: You ever noticed each update for Itunes is 250mb? It all goes into bloating that program. If you download like 4 or 5 of them, unpacked and installed it ends up making itunes 1gb, which it doesnt need to be. Programs like this remove old versions, unnecessary files, and trim seldom used ones.
This app cleared up 2.3 GB on my hard drive! Works like magic.
I got it as part of the most recent Macheist, but it'd be well worth $12 if you're on the fence about purchasing.
Add me to the happy user list. 2.06 GB free'd up for me.
ABSOLUTLEY USEFULL
!!!!

AAA+++
if you don't want to pay, all you have to do is get appdelete and after you've save ~50 mb of the trial, appdelete it, drag it back out of trash, and it has 50 mb left again!!!
I saved loads of space with this app. Well worth the small donation. I run it on a regular basis to help keep my drive filling with unneeded stuff.
Wow, great app. As an example, iTunes went from 114Mb to 32.4Mb....and that's just one app.
Brilliant.
