[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1615724"] Yeah, and I have to leave in about 15 minutes myself for a 7:00 pm meeting (It's now 6:20 here) and I won't be back until after 9 pm. So for sammsousa, can you wait until we can get back to you? Terminal commands are not for the rookies, and we need to move carefully so we don't lose anything. For now, as cradom says, go ahead and use the new account to move as much stuff to the external as you can to see if we can make some room. You can TRY to move whatever you can see in the damaged account from Finder in the new account, but I doubt much will be movable. Don't move anything OUTSIDE those two accounts, and don't try to "clean" up the system in any way from the new account, yet. I'll be back later tonight to see how it's going. This might take a while. With only 150GB on the external, we're still going to be tight for room. You need to seriously think about what you can dump, once we have control! [/QUOTE]
