newelement Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 When I open Dreamweaver CS3, close it and restart the computer I get a recovered folder in the trash. Anyone know what this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutmacstoday Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 you will always get recovered folders in the trash when you restart. when you empty your trash, not all of the files leave your compy, so when you restart, you get them back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Er... don't listen to AllOutMacs... he tends to form some crazy hypotheses. When you empty your trash, it's emptied. Nothing is restored "back" from the trash. For lack of a better term, what he said was complete b/s. Apple has some documentation on this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?pa.../it/mh2267.html Basically, it's a normal feature of OS X and nothing to be concerned about. When you run a program, it creates temporary files in a directory to help it run. If you decide to open the program again during the same session when you're logged into the computer, it'll have them ready to go quickly. When you reboot, it moves it to the trash since they aren't needed any more. Dreamweaver is just one of a few programs that use this process. Not every app caches data the same way. Everybody gets this occasionally depending on what programs they run in any given log-in session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord xeon Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i've been getting these files too, i just ignored them because, they didn't bother me so much, good to know that they are common though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
