Hello! My iMac DV 400 has been rescuing items from the Mac HD lately. Nearly every time I restart or turn on the iMac, I find something else rescued in the trash. If I empty it again, it usually works upon restart.
I've noted the last three items that were rescued. Download Cache (zero K), then IE Cache. lck (4 K), and this time OpenTransfer (456 K) were rescued and sitting in the trash.
Hi Claire, I think you are using OS 9.2.x, right? And you have had some crashes, right?
Applications that are open and running keep all sorts of stuff that they temporarily create in an invisible Temporary folder on your HD. These are removed when you close the app. If the application does not have a chance to properly shut down (ie - crashes) these files will remain. On your next start-up these files will be moved to a "Rescued Items" folder in the Trash. (They're called "rescued" because there is some chance that you might be able to recover some of your unsaved work from them, but usually they are pretty useless.)
