[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1508411, member: 131855"] LMAO did not notice I had an eternal drive till you pointed it out. Good thing I have my TM backup on that drive. I have tried to add myself to the user list before posting and can't. If I click the plus sign and attempt to enter my admin user OS X complains and won't complete the process. I tried making changes as an admin user (normally run that way) and that did not work. Cannot delete the files that way either. Also tried as root user and got the same results. I enabled root through Users/Groups and running the Directory Utility. That shouldn't matter should it? These files have been a problem for a while and just got around to trying to fix it. [/QUOTE]
