Recover invisible missing space on your iDisk
Authored by: kirkmc on Feb 04, '04 12:59:47PM

Don't delete them. They are standard files in a Unix-type file system.

However, did you check all your folders and sub-folders for those .fstemp files?

Recover invisible missing space on your iDisk
Authored by: manolosf on Feb 13, '04 11:12:56AM

I am having this exact same problem. I'm trying to use this method to retreive the idisk space I paid for. The only hold up is that I'm new to the Terminal command window and don't exactly know how to enter the terminal commands to access the iDisk folder and then to delete those unwanted files. What is the proper way of entering and executing the commands?

You don't have to use the terminal to delete the .fstemp files. Mount your iDisk on your desktop - not a local copy but your actual iDisk. then use the find command in the finder to search your iDisk. Set the first search term to NAME->CONTAINS "fstemp". Add a second search term set to VISBILITY->INVISIBLE ITEMS. The results will list all the .fstemp files. You can then select all and delete them.
