Mac OS automatically defrags files up to 20 MB on the fly; unless you regularly process/edit large file sizes such as videos or pics in RAW format, there is rarely a need to do so.
Additionally, most applications are installed in one neat package - you throw that out, you've deleted 99% of it; the only exception are the very small preferences files in your Library or if you installed something like Adobe which I've heard places files everywhere. In that case, it's best to use their uninstaller to get rid of all of it.

Onyx is free; DW does cost money.
