[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 949680, member: 50033"] Macintosh HD > Applications and User > Applications are not the same thing. Leave them both alone, aside from deleting individual apps that you wish to uninstall. I believe the SideBar typically points towards Mac HD > Applications which is where the majority of your applications are located. All items in the SideBar are aliases. You can drag items on and off the sidebar and you won't hurt anything. If you are sure that your Applications are all still intact in both Macintosh HD > Applications and User > Applications, then you should be able to empty the trash without an issue. That being said, a quick backup beforehand wouldn't be a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
