[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1831273, member: 110816"] What version of macOS is on that thing? If it's recent enough, you can do this from the Recovery Console. Once the machine is powered down, hold down CMD+r when you start the machine. It will end up in recovery console. Now open Utilities->Terminal to get the terminal prompt. From there: [CODE] cd /Volumes cd "Macintosh HD" ls -l [/CODE] This will put you into your drive and list the folders. You will see folders like [B]Applications[/B], [B]Library[/B], [B]Network[/B], [B]System[/B], [B]Users[/B] and so on. If you don't see those, then you need to first mount the drive. If you do see the right folders, you can then do [CODE] cd Users/<username> ls -l [/CODE] Obviously, replace <username> with your actual username and you should now see folders like [B]Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures[/B] and so on. You can now go into each of those folders with the [B]cd[/B] command and remove files/folders using the [B]rm [/B]command. Not comfortable with the command line? Tell us where you have stored your files and we can tell you how to remove them. [/QUOTE]
