[QUOTE="Noels, post: 683480, member: 49942"] riverteeth, If you don't find a better solution, create a folder on your desktop and put those items you have in trash that you want to save. Then you can empty the trash and still have those files. I think cuhnool may be right about Time Machine. I use 2 different externals so I can have duplication in my backups. One I use Time Machine, the other SuperDuper. And I only hook them up to do a backup every couple of days or so. That way, TM doesn't constantly backup every hour and fill up the drive. Maybe that would preserve some space on your external if you use TM... Noel [/QUOTE]
