Can't delete any files - harddisk problem?
Hi!
I have a Macbook Pro 15" from medio 2009. Yesterday, I tried to download a file, then a message popped up that said, that the hard drive is full. However, I have 22 GB free space, so it didn't add up. Then I couldn't run any of the macintosh applications (i.e. Hard drive repair, time machine etc.). Moreso, I couldn't delete any files nor empty the trash can. An error -50 appears when I do that. When I reboot my mac it takes way too long to start up. Has anyone experienced some of the same problems? Do I need to replace my hard disk? If so, how can I backup my files if Time Machine doesn't work?
Kind regards,
MS
