You are not running some sort of utility that lets you recover items
you trashed items? Start your machine in single user mode by Holding
down command - S until your screen looks like a terminal with a prompt.
run fsck -fy rerun until you get no errors. type exit to boot normally.
Try trashing the folder that contained the files that disappeared.

Hello:
I am the daughter, who as my father has kindly explained, has the
problem with the mac and remaining space on the HD.
• First off I connected the 250GB Lacie Portable Disk Drive, which
my mac recognized with little effort.
• Then I selected, Clicked & Dragged a sample 3GB Image Folder
into the Lacie.
• Once I was able to see that that was working, I took the test
folder and dropped it into the trash, and deleted it. No problem.
• I did the same to the main 52GB image folder, and 22 hours later
the transfer was complete. Only this time the HD image files were gone
from the "HD Pictures" directory before I could drop them into the
Trash! And my usable space is still embarrassingly minuscule. Yes, I
am beyond the 80% recommended on the HD, which is why I saved and
purchased the Lacie...
• I am able to access the files from the new drive.
• I have tried to find the files on the HD, but cannot locate them,
and still I am showing less than 4 GB on the HD even after several
reboots.
Any ideas?
Help would be gratefully appreciated, as I have at least 500M of
images to offload and need to be able to work them...
Thank you for all the input.
I remain,
the daughter,
ginette
