My pleasure! I might do a post on cleaning out junk files soon, I just went through that process trying to free up space on an almost-full MacBook Air.

What was I thinking? Thanks for the quick response AND the hint. Love what you post and look forward to your tips! Do you happen to know a quick way to clean out extraneous files?

Hi Janice — are you sure you had multiple files selected when you did the right-click, and did you right-click on one of the selected items?
