[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1653353, member: 175845"] For Heaven's Sake, if your data is that important to you, please make sure you have at least TWO current and working backups!! And at least ONE before you do any more mucking about. As for emptying your Trash, you might want to grab a copy of [B]Trash It![/B] and use it to empty your Trash, and avoid Terminal. It's FREE as well!! Grab it from here and check the reviews/comments if you're dubious: [url=http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8214/trash-it]Trash It! for Mac | MacUpdate[/url] PS: If you're that short of space and can't afford a larger drive right now, you can probably cleanup about 4±GB of surplus language space if you don't need it using [B]Monolingual[/B]. It's safer than most, but read the manual to exempt some apps like the MS Office and Adobe suites. They won't update properly if "cleaned".
