[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1672076, member: 76746"] Hello Chas_M, These files are, for lack of a better term, 'Real' ones. I do get a folder in the trash called "Recovered Files" with the temporary stuff Office makes when I use one of those programs. As far as I know, that is normal. I let it get deleted when I empty the trash. Sometime ago, I had to make hidden files visible. I forgot the reason- Some troubleshooting I suppose. I did that through Terminal and re-hid the files when I was done. Hidden are still hidden. As far as a cleaner utility or anti virus; I use Onyx once in a while to fix permissions and I have Clamx-AV. It is not set to run unless I turn it on manually. I haven't used it in a long time. It usually scans and finds a bunch of e-mails in my in-boxes that have re-directs in them, but that's about it. For troubleshooting this problem, I ran it last evening. It didn't find anything. So, I'm still puzzled. Thank You Again for writing. I'll be interested in what is happening in the background. Paul PS: I enjoyed (and bookmarked) your article about keeping my Mac in top form.
