[QUOTE="choice, post: 1113095, member: 172745"] I think I may have solved the issue. What I have been doing is deleting from the external hard drive but not emptying the trash while it is attached. I have just done this and found 210,000 music files in the external hard drive trash!!!! Obviously I empty the trash regularly when the external isnt attached but didnt realise the trash acted as the externals own trash also. The mac must have had these files in the system even when the external wasnt attached which is why when i search for music within virtual dj or outside of the software so many show up that arnt actually there in reality. Thanks for bring this to my attention, I learnt something there :Blushing: [/QUOTE]
