Hello,
This is my first Mac, never really worked on them so just getting use to the small differences after years on pc's. So far so good i think.
However, I was simply *SHOCED* at what i discovered this morning, i just got it last night.
Besides checking my email last night and a bit of web browsing I didn't do anything on it. This morning I poked around and checked under "finder" the "all images" folder and much to my surprise and horror I found super old pictures there. They were all either pics i emailed to people at one time or another or they emailed me. I use google email. They are NOT in any of my gmail folders as i compulsively delete everything out of my gmail.
Holly sh*t! Where did they come from? How to get rid of them (permanently!) not just deleting from that folder. And, how not to have this happen again?
I looked at the pathway at the bottom of that folder and it was quite long but it said something about "imap.google...". Does that mean they are on the google server? I tried to contact google via phone and email to NO avail.
I don't want this to ever happen again. Help? TIA, Peter
