lost+found folder

Hi everyone,

I believe that this folder was created when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I didn't pay much attention to it until I realized that the size was 5.2 GB!! This is huge and I'm not sure if it is ok if I delete, as I would like to very much. the name of it is 'iNode16809185'

Thanks
Brad

Do you have a backup and what are you using to backup?

Yes I do have a backup and I'm using an iomega external hard drive as a backup

Have a read of this blog.

I saw that but I don't think that applies to me. Its literally just one file in there, and it was created when I upgraded to Mavericks. I did have some issues with my drive, and I had to restart my computer from Disk Utility to repair them and it worked successfully. I would like to delete it, but I'm worried what could happen. anyone have any suggestions?

It is probably the 10.9 installer - you can try opening the file to see what it is, or just move it to the trash - restart the computer - use it for a couple days and if everything is ok - empty the trash.
