[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1588116, member: 175845"] I don't know that the OP has even enough hard drive space to create a Smart Folder, but doesn't a Smart Folder just create aliases or links to the original files?? It seems like it would be a good idea to clone the boot drive to a clean 1TB drive with CCC first, and then do some cleanup, moving or deletion. EDIT: "It’s worth noting that [B]Smart Folders are virtual folders[/B]; your Sales presentations might be spread across different folders, but a Smart Folder will collate them in one place. It hasn’t moved the original files – it’s just displaying them together. ..." [url]http://www.cultofmac.com/48911/100-tips-19-what-are-smart-folders/[/url] Bold mine. ;-) [/QUOTE]
