[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1850237, member: 83420"] Hi Bernard and welcome. I am linking you to two articles which explain what Purgeable Data means and how to delete or modify it. NB Even if you can't recall doing so, you must have turned On this facility. The 2 articles go into this in some detail. But do remember that deleting the data or turning Off this feature requires that you have that data stored on your Mac. You obviously don't want to lose any data. If after reading these articles, you are still unclear about things, please don't hesitate to post back.
