[QUOTE="mango1966, post: 1446707, member: 262877"] Hi there, I'm trying to get rid of stuff on a portable hard drive so I can use it as a back up disk. I've put the folders in the trash but when I go to delete it I get this message The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003). This disk was previously used as a time machine back up disk and by the looks of things had something like 2 million items on it, so I don't know if the sheer volume of items is freaking it out. If anyone has any suggestions for me I'd me hugely appreciative. Thanks. Paul [/QUOTE]
