My Next is running low on disk. Each time I log in there is a message which warns me of the low file space and advises me to use the the "Destroy Deleted Files" in the Utilities submenu of the Workspace menu. However, the "Destroy Deleted Files" patch is always lighted and thus preventing me from actually removing the files. Is there anything else I should do ? Thanks Raghu

Destroy deleted files is only one of many measures to clean up. (it is the least painful suggestion though!) If you drag files into the black hole, they are just moved and not deleted (removed). Thus the suggestion is to get rid of them. It seems tough that you use cmd-r or the unix rm to get rid of your file and thus have no files in the black whole to delete. You therefore need to clean up space in another way: remove files you don't need. You are facing the hard fact of finite file storage :-( -- Ronald ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
