You can quickly regain about 1GB of free space or more by getting rid of unneeded language resources with: Monolingual (free) http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ I also recommend that you run: Cache Out X (Free) http://www.trilateralsystems.com/CacheOutX/ MacJanitor (Free) http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html You can find out what is filling up your hard drive with: DiskInventory X (free) http://www.derlien.com/ GrandPerspective (free) http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ I have a couple of questions. Did you have several gigabytes of free space, and did you suddenly find it gone in the span of just a day or two? Or has this been building up slowly over time? Do you use .Mac/Me.com and the iDisk feature? ___________________________________________ Randy B.
