[QUOTE="cdginther, post: 353046, member: 28722"] Thanks to both of you. I initially used DiskInventoryX to discover the file. Now, when I open DiskInventoryX it shows this: Capacity 74.2 GB Used: 60.5 GB Free: 13.7 GB But then when I open the volume and it finishes analyzing, it shows used as being 18 GB, with the application one being the biggest at 4.1 GB. No sign of that .sparse file I thought I deleted anywhere, not even in the user .trash or the system .trashes. Any other ideas? It seems to have let me delete the file. How can I tell if it wasn't really trashed and is still stuck somewhere? [/QUOTE]
