[QUOTE="technologist, post: 138104, member: 4134"] All of your documents, movies, music...your "files"...should be in your Home/user folder. Everyone on a computer should have a Home folder of her own, and nobody should be able to access anyone else's files. If you copy a file/folder from anywhere else on the system to your home folder, the system will Duplicate, rather than Move, the file. To find out "where everything is" on you hard disk, open the hard disk and choose [b]View > Show View Options[/b] and then click the "Calculate All Sizes." You can then drill down, repeating this as necessary, until you see something unusually large. [/QUOTE]
