oldtopman Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 A: What is your email client? B: Press Command (alt) I to see the sizes of folders. Check your home folder. If the extra stuff is in there, check Users>Your Shortname>Library folder. If not then check the Library folder and the System folder. C: Is your system updating itself?
