Power Mac - Empty Trash Problem


hi

 

i running 550gb external hd time machine.  have received message saying time machine (tm) cannot backup there not enough room left on hd.

 

firstly, though set automatically erase oldest file first make space whenever happened, doesn't appear happening. went in tm manually , selected oldest 2 months backups , put them in trash. 

 

first of takes ever 'prepare files deletion'  , when starts 'trash' files takes ages , gives ghost! there 900.000 files empty, sat there watching each file delete 1 one , freezes , stops!

 

any suggestions on how can overcome please?

 

many thanks

the thing helped me time machine (and shouldn't asked or answered here since adobe forum , not mac osx forum) selective in backing it.

 

for instance, go through 10 20 gigs week in downloads folder. download or save (no matter ends up) lands there hour, or day sometimes. delete things in there because realize didn't need them after all. other times i'll burn content dvd or dvd-dl if necessary have hard copy of it.

 

if time machine backs of have copy taking space on drive "threw away" intentionally or have in medium. went tm preferences , blocked downloads folder backup. also, have updated software, delete old backups drive

 

thus have 320 gb time machine drive 219 gb available, , keep backup of font library on it.

 

but said @ beginning, isn't adobe question , isn't photoshop question, might better ask @ apple support forums.
