Hi,
I hope somebody can help me. I have a
MAC G4.
My hard drive capacity is 9G and I noticed
that I only have 1G left. The problem is, if I
add up the total of my files and programs,
no more than 4G should be in use, which
means that there is an entire 4G that
seemed to have disappeared!

What's worse is that I noticed that little by
little, each day, I'm losing more and more
space.
I checked to see if there was any online
definition of some type of worm, but
couldn't find any.

Any help will be more that welcome,
thanks
Charles

there are a few things you can try:
- rebuild your desktop. it is invisible and always
getting bigger.

- empty the cache on your browser(s). they fill up
fast.

- if using OSX, repair permissions using the disk
utility on your install disk. this should be done once
a month.

Let me know if this works
