Ok, folks, .... the mystery continues. Of the 12 G I freed up on my computer moving stuff to the external HD and deleting stuff AND deleting the trash AND cleaning up system files, repeatedly, all but 5 G had been replaced 24 hours later! I had done nothing on the machine in the meantime but answer email. Are you SURE that there is no way that some program has gone berserk an is busily cloning stuff on my HD? Are there any programs that are prone to that sort of thing? Outlook? Firefox?
