Audacity Forum

Unlike the Windows people, Mac OS-X is pretty good about self-adjusting and maintenance. You don't have to "defrag" your hard drive to keep it efficient. I would download and run Mac Janitor. There are ways to do those jobs manually such as from the command line Mac OS Terminal, but this i...

I know it gave you a nice spring housecleaning feeling, but neither OS-X nor Audacity is that delicate. You can reset Audacity to Factory Fresh by drilling down to User(your name) > Library > Preferences and delete the audacity Preferences file. Restart the Mac and everything is all new.
