[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1816004, member: 175845"] Just to be sure, I am sure you have [B][I]Emptied the trash[/I][/B] and the Finder is not showing anything in the Trashcan. Just double checking... :Smirk: But I am also wondering if there is not a bit of [I][B]confusion over a shortage of RAM or a shortage of drive space[/B][/I]. Not the same thing, and I didn't think any recent Mac OS X version actually gave a [I][B]shortage of memory/RAM warning[/B][/I]. It will just use some drive space if such a need arises. ie: swap files, as possibly show in the Activity Monitor etc. Does using the [B]Get Info[/B] on your in-use drive not show any increase in used space after downloading a large, say 5-10GB file, and likewise, does it show a decrease in used space when such a file is Trashed and Deleted??? - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
