"MS Office Schemas" Do I need this?

Hi Folks,

I am in the process of trashing files apps etc that I don't need.

I found a folder called Sync Services (84 kb on disk). Within that was a folder called Schemas (76 kb on disk).
In that was Microsoft Office Notes.syncshema (68 KB on disk).

What is it, do I need it?

many thanks,
eekahil

I find Sync Services folder both in Library & User>Library>Application Support, and Schemas in the 1st one.

You may not need the MS stuff, but 68K isn't worth a hoot these days, find some GB sized files to dump!

How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

Ha!

Thanks for the advice.
I have been rooting around for things to trash - them there little 68k's sure add up.

As to that schema thing, thanks - I wasn't sure whether it was something essential to the operation of,say, MS Word.

Where this began today was , when trying to start anew with iTunes, I couldn't copy it from my eternal HD; not enough space on my Startup Disk.

I down'oaded both of the apps you suggested - they look to be more my speed; I'm a "pretty ponies and colours" , not at all "numbers ,data,paths" person.

All the best,

Yep, 64 of them take up about one DVD's worth of space! 😉

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596

After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...

applejack AUTO

Then let it do all 5 of it's things.

The 5 things it does are...

Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! 🙂
