Thank you Tim, but I am really not using the computer to do huge graphics, etc., rather mostly for word processing and web surfing. It's just that since I started downloading several pdf newsletters each month the hard drive filled up faster than I expected. I want to save those pdf newsletters and was trying to archive all but this year's copies onto my Imation 120 MB discs, which would have been fine except that the Norton FileSaver saved copies, too, which ate up about half of the remaining small free space on the hard drive. This morning I deactivated Norton FileSaver and removed the rest of the previous years' newsletters, archiving them on the Imation discs. Also took off or deleted a number of other files and managed to free up about 740 MB of hard drive space. It still would help a lot to be able to purge the files in question form the Norton FileSaver program which would restore about a gig of memory. That should take the pressure off the OS and allow it to perform satisfactorily again. So... Can anyone here kindly advise me how to safely purge those files from the Norton FileSaver?
