Clean my Mac - Delete universal binary files to speed up my Mac

A universal binary is, in Apple parlance, an executable file or application bundle that runs natively on either PowerPC or x86 (Intel)-based Macintosh computers; it is an implementation of the concept more generally known as a fat binary.

With the release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard and the move to 64-bit architecture, Universal can also mean an application that runs natively on i386 (32-bit Intel) and x86_64 systems.

The universal binary format was introduced at the 2005 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as a means to ease the transition from the existing PowerPC architecture to systems based on Intel processors, which began shipping in 2006. Universal binaries typically include both PowerPC and x86 versions of a compiled application. The operating system detects a universal binary by its header, and executes the appropriate section for the architecture in use. This allows the application to run natively on any supported architecture, with no negative performance impact beyond an increase in the storage space taken up by the larger binary.

If a user has installed a software which is capable to run at both Power PC and Intel platforms , it retails universal binary files. If you are are Intel user then the binary files for PowerPC are simply useless files for you. These files simply eat hard drive space and make the system slow.
