[QUOTE="p_rod, post: 1619139, member: 174646"] Hi! I am running a nearly 3 year old MBA 11"er with version 10.9.5 Mavericks. I was on the forums here about a week ago with some questions about TM backup files, etc; received some expert help and all was well. Except for one minor thing. I moved off massive amounts of files from my HD (about 20 GB worth) to give me some room to breathe, and there is one single file, named .DS_Store that popped up on the background after I moved all these files and rebooted a few times. I have dragged it to the trash, but in seconds it just pops right back up onto the background. GET INFO shows this file as: Size: 15,364 bytes (16KB on disk). Where: /users/myname/.Trash (There IS a dot in front of Trash. Created Nov 8, 2014 (the day I did all my moving of files) It is not locked, it is not anything too large to present a problem, I'd just like to know what type of file it is and if it is a much needed file, where does it belong and can/should I move it there? As always, I thank you in advance. :-) Cheers! Pat [/QUOTE]
