[QUOTE="p_rod, post: 1617964, member: 174646"] Thanks, Rad_ Dave and harry. I am sorry for not including my OS-- 10-9.5 Mav. Doh! Another Homer Simpson moment. Dave..I got to looking through the Finder and I did have a "secret file" with a lot of Go Pro movies I've shot and I could have sworn I moved them off onto external drives but they must have 'copied' instead. Trash is empty. Found a ton of downloaded photos off the net and cleaned them all off and my OTHER file shrank about 2.5 gigs. And re-emptied the trash. Curiously, after moving the 11 gigs of hidden movies and the 2.5 gigs of jpegs, I am still only showing 60 gigs free...and something else occurred. Originally I posted I had 228 megs of backups. After cleaning up things, emptying the trash, (and Harry, I did a complete backup BEFORE starting any of this, onto an external drive), About my Mac is now telling me I have 20 GIGS of backups onboard now. WTH happened there? :-) It seems every time I come here with one question, it gets answered quickly and usually completely but it always leads to more questions. :-) I do have Onyx (forgot about it) and will dust it off now and look around a bit. Thanks again, you two! Cheers! Pat [/QUOTE]
