This file at the top of the list im my hard drive will not go away. I delete it, and the next time I open the drive it is back again. Any ideas as to what it is and how to get rid of it?

Open up terminal and type:

Code:

sudo rm -rf /02*

Enter your password when it asks, and its gone 🙂

PS: Im assuming you dont have another file in the same directory that starts with "02" because I got lazy and didn't want to type the rest 😛

Do you have any idea what could be creating the file?
