Folder named "Mac Backup"

[Guest PennMatthews]

I recently got a drive almost full notification. I have a 178 GB drive and in

all my life I would have never used it all. In looking around I found a

folder named "Mac Backup". It's size is 124 GB!! I cannot find a file or

program association to it. Does anybody have any ideas?

likely the backup

utility needs some

fine tuning/configuration:

-------------------

something to keep in

mind - if the backup files

are not on a separate

partition, disk or external

drive, then it is pointless

for the archives to be on

the same partition.

 

one example is the awful

effect whereas the backup

utility might be backing up

the archives because they are

being stored on the system

partition.

Who has access to the PC? Ask them about it.
