[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1633629, member: 305283"] Make sure your pictures have copied to the external drive first if that's what you want. Ok, this may be a little scary. Go to Applications/Utilities where you'll find an app called Terminal. Run it. Assuming you [B]don't need anything else[/B] on your desktop, copy and paste this into Terminal: cd ~/Desktop rm -rf *.* This will NOT delete your hard drive if it's on the desktop. What this does is: Move your working directory to Desktop Delete EVERYTHING on the desktop. And I do mean everything. And you cant get it back so make SURE there's nothing you want to keep. Now quit Terminal and you're done. [/QUOTE]
