recovered files

[cyprus mac man]

hey guys.

every once in a while I get a folder in my trash called Recovered Files. from what I have heard it is part of Tiger and was previously part of another OS (maybe OS 6, 7, or 8 but i forget). now my friend is worried about it and says its not supposed to happen. he wont believe what I say, so i guess i may as well see what anyone here has to say about these files...

This is normal, it may be files from (downloaded) mail attachments or apps like ilife ect ect. nothing to worry about.

Of course. They are in the Trash already. Just empty the trash again.
