I am running 10.3 on a G4 Powerbook.

I was trying to delete some files because my hard drive was full and I was getting error messages when I tried to save things.

I tried to use a program called WhatSize to get rid of some files. Unfortunately, I can no longer find a lot of files including my itunes library, but my hard drive still reads that it is almost full.

The files appear to be hidden somewhere. I can't seem to find them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

In terminal run: sudo find / -name *mp3

...which will show you where all the mp3's are on the hd.
