[QUOTE="Dizzyrocks2001, post: 1664475, member: 354276"] Update: since my last post I decided to start from scratch by wiping my SSD clean and reinstalling OS X and all my apps. I also erased my HDD (the one that contained all my music) and reloaded everything back on. This seems to pretty much have fixed the problem I had with music files from "the big music folder" being slow to delete and move around. There's a little bit of lag (which is to be expected when one folder has 33,000 mp3s in it) but I no longer get the lingering "preparing to move items to trash" message. And when I say "lag" I mean about 1 second when moving or trashing a file, as opposed to the 1-2 minutes I was experiencing before, so this is great! Moving forward, should I be using something like Onyx to maintain the clean state of my MacBook? Or will my MacBook eventually get sluggish again over time? I'd prefer not to have to wipe my MacBook clean and reinstall everything if possible. [/QUOTE]
