And I always have my hard drive cloned with Super Duper so I can restore the system. ![]() I have rendered my Mac unbootable due to deleting files I shouldn't have. (I've got FAF configured to delete system files automatically, so I"ve got to be alert about what I"m doing.) ![]() Yeah, FAF is more complicated than EF, but once it's figured and configured, the speed boost is, in my estimation, well worth the effort. I was happy with EF until I realized that it was all of a sudden taking interminably long to complete searches, so I tried FAF on a lark, found that an EF search that took more than a minute to complete took only about 10 seconds for FAF to complete, and I"ve never looked back. From now on I will always check though thanks to you.įind all Files looks kind of complicated, so I don't think I will be using it anyway.ĮasyFind, by developer's intent, makes it difficult to delete stuff that requires authentication, so anything you've ever deleted DIRECTLY from an EF interface has been "kosher" to delete. But thankfully it didn't delete any system files, so maybe it's intuitive regarding that kind of thing. Right, but you said not to get rid of any thing "system related." I had never checked when I deleted stuff via EasyFind because I didn't know any better. Neither FAF nor EF makes any decisions about what to delete or retain all they do is tell you what's there, and whether to delete or retain is your decision, and since you've always (I think) been fastidious about "looking before you leap," I don't think either app presents any danger for you. ![]() The only thing that "gets rid of it shouldn't" is a USER! I don't always know what is safe to delete and what isn't, and I always trusted the apps to make the right decision. I am considering using Find any File.I am just concerned that it might get rid of something it shouldn't.
