any sort of utility running that allows you to recover stuff once it has been deleted? Something like Norton Utilities, heaven forfend!
Just a thought.

I have a Mac Mini, and the other day I deleted 900+ photos from the hard drive, and emptied the trash can. Before doing this, the hard drive had 23.85 GB available; afterwards, it had 23.65 GB available. The following day, I deleted a few more files, and the space available shrunk to 23.41 GB. And during this time, nothing was added (no new photos, files, applications, etc). What gives?
