[QUOTE="professortiki, post: 1492527, member: 291701"] OK... time to check this again. Trash says I got 67 objects in there. The Terminal command, incl. the hidden files, only gives me 40. So that doesn't seem to lead anywhere. But I got another idea: When I empty trash, I do indeed empty the trashes of all volumes, right? So that would include those on the TimeMachine disc. Those are not displayed in the trash, unless I open the trash of that disc. Same with data sticks. You empty them by emptying the trash of your computer, while the stick is plugged in. So that would explain the enormous data load that's deleted every time I empty trash. Could that be the solution? [/QUOTE]
