hi, thanks to those who got back to me. BatChmod's force empty the trash worked like a dream and gave me back around a gig!!
the thing i'm not sure about is how i got in this situation in the first place? being the admin user of the machine i assumed that i'd have permissions for everything... seems not! i guess i trashed something i shouldn't have at some point.... thanks again, jake -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
