[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1816830, member: 46727"] Rod and Scoobie: You would be surprised how much accumulated junk stores up on your machine and is hidden. I use a handy File Manager called "Path Finder" that can unhide files, folders, and subfolders. The other day I went thru my System Library and made several hidden folders visible. I was amazed at some of the junk that had built up from past installs and old versions of files. I removed over 4GB of stuff that I was not even aware was there. Of course you do need to be careful what you delete in that you do not want to delete something that's needed. You can always do a google search to make sure you know what you're removing. [/QUOTE]
