[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1892333, member: 396914"] Shut down. You do that by clicking on the in the upper left, then clicking on Shut down... and let it turn off completely. To reboot, press the power button briefly and it should reboot. Rebooting this way starts a new cache/scratch space. OnyX is a great tool, but selecting everything is huge overkill and can damage how some programs work. The defaults are the best combination of options. Selecting more than that might cause some strange behavior. Not necessarily fatal, just annoying. CC apps can preserve a "history" of the items being worked on. That history can take up a LOT of space. The history is only released when you save the file and quit the app. To quit the app you have to use the menu item to Quit, not just click on the red X. If you don't shut it down, the temporary files that hold the history are preserved. So, it COULD BE that the Adobe apps are contributing to the problem. [/QUOTE]
