Not sure how large on a 250GB. There were lots of directories in > !Cache. I have raised this sort of thing before. I think you would find there were lots and lots of *empty* directories. Apparently on other FS such directories cause no problems! I even wrote a program to analyse the cache, and to create deletes for all empty directories. But I suspect it currently has bugs, and I got diverted to other things! I think my directory now (after deleting it all like you have in about April) is now about 168MB - which is under its 1024MB limit. It does seem to be using 6300 directories but only holds 1550 files! Still seems a directory overload to me. Martin
