Lines: 31 Ooohhh, I know this is a good one. I am in a lab that distributes system disks for people to boot up our Mac SE's (running system 6.0.2, with a few da's and inits as well). The problem is... some applications you run will place a temp file in the system folder. After you run enough of these applications, your system disk becomes full and causes all sorts of nasties. Is there a way to delete the temp files and misc. trash in a mindless way without reformating or checking the disks each time? etc, etc,.... I wanted to summarize and say thanks to all those that responded. The response I got was almost overwhelming with plenty of help. The most consistent response I got was try Tempermant-2 at sumex-aim/info-mac/cdev. I have retrieved it and will try it out. I also received a beta that I'll be testing out as well. Thanks again for the fast response. Much appreciated!! Chip -- !===========================================================================! ! Charles H.
