Contrex was trying to be helpful, you may have overreacted a wee bit.
He was just pointing out that the word "memory' is commonly used to mean the RAM. I think all of us misinterpreted your question at first until we had to read on to figure out what you were talking about.
You are really complaining about the space on your hard drive.
Using the correct terms will make your questions much more clear. Your use of the term "bastard' to someone who was trying to help (albeit in a terse manner) was probably a poor word choice.
I may have indeed.
However, helpfulness is better delivered without such arrogance etc., which is likely to make it perceived as most UNhelpful by the "helpee", and Contrex is likely to find that an almost universal truth.
I am happy to be taught about a mistake, but not in that manner.
And bastard is almost a term of endearment here.

Thanks Timber.....but getting rid of Luxor seems to have helped. Grrrr...I LIKE Luxor!
(I clear my caches, defragment and such very reguarly)
