[QUOTE="Panamera, post: 1411967, member: 198534"] So as the title suggests I somehow broke osx. On phone now. I was trying to delete about 20,000 picture files which were all Firefox cache crap. Dragging to trash kinda went bad. Was moving to trash at a rate of 1 file per 20 seconds. I canceled and restarted then it was preparing to move to trash for an hour. Com was frozen so I restarted. Startup freeze + desktop icons don't load Repeat 20 times Managed to start in safe mode and open activity monitor. Finder is using 110% CPU and if I force quit it starts again till it all freezes and I have to restart . I thought I'd let it do it's thing but now it's started. Desktop icons don't load. Everything is frozen . I got exams and really need the con. Also done the command option p + r thing too. Any help is appreciated thanks [/QUOTE]
