Q: I had to G5's 2.2Ghz donated, and they were not wiped clean, and I don't have a Leopard CD. Anyone know what I can do? I am a non profit.
I would greatly appreciate some help here. I have two PowerPC's that were donated to my community center, and they were not wiped clean. (insert major frowny face) I am at a loss on what to do, being a non profit I don't have much money to spend on having these cleaned off at a local "Authorized Mac Store." I have my figners crossed that someone here might be able to offer me some guideance.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things.
Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
Go after large files that you have created & know what they are. Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

Empty the trash. Space isn't reclaimed until you empty the trash in three places!
The trash can...
-- in the dock
-- for iPhoto
-- with Mail
