James Recently I had a problem where my hard drive filled up without apparent reason.. I eventually discovered that for no apparent reason everything had been duplicated, possibly due to a backup glitch. I finally tracked the problem down using "disk inventory X" which showed me where everything was on the disk and what was taking up all the room. Hope this helps and is not "teaching Grandmother etc...".
