Thanks for this. Well at the moment the cash is probably about 30 gig but it got up to 360 gig before my brother managed to deal with it last Thursday. We haven’t deleted completely but first copied to an external drive before deleting completely from the internal drive. Any thoughts on what is happening here would gratefully be received as I know that it took my brother who is a programmer a lot of thought to find the cash and empty it. Love emma
