Hiya, If you ever want to repair file permissions I suggest you leave the receipts alone. Disk Utility uses this folder to determine what permissions should be set for what application. This folder should be quite small in size any way. If you're that desperate for space then I suggest you get another drive. Other things you can do to alleviate space is to run Monolingual (check versiontracker.com) to remove unwanted languages. you can also remove unwanted Printer files (esp. PPDs). Oh, the /Library/Packages folder holds any software you have downloaded via Apple's Software updates. While it is good to have these for future use, if needed, once they are installed they can be removed. This folder could be large in size. Cheers, Coj Lanny Cotler <lcotler at willitsonline.com> I need to free up space on my boot drive partition. Anyone know what the "receipts" folder in the Library are used for? Can I dump them? thanks, L -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
