I'm passing on my old iMac to my son, and I've decided to go the route of deleting my docs and downloads, to clear up some room. I chose the secure delete function, and the process started on Sunday with some 33,000 files to delete.
This morning, seven files remained to be deleted and, two hours later, it still reads six files to go. I tried a restart, but wasn't allowed because the files were being deleted.
Also, my documents folder shows being empty, but my downloads folder looks as full as ever.
What next?
Thanks,
Gary
