Hi All,

I am having a problem with my Mac + MP3 player.

When I delete files with my PC, all is in order.

When I delete the files with my mac mini, they disappear but still show in the overall file size:

e.g.

Capacity 249MB
Available 27.8MB
Used 221.2MB

The 'used' quantity relates to the amount I have deleted. This means I only have 27.8MB available to me. 221.2MB has been 'lost'. I can correct this by using my PC, but I am trying to switch to Mac 100%.

Can anyone help? I am sure the answer is obvious!

make sure you empty the trash while the player is still connected.

Winner iREZ, thank you very much. OS X - it always makes sense in the end!
