i asked my 2007 20" imac to delete 278 mostly empty folders.
45 mins later still spinning beachball.
Is it safe to hold power button?
Cannot get the dock up.
Cannot open or close anything.
[doublepost=1479755817][/doublepost]Decided to hold power button as was unable to shut down any other way.
Seems ok, took few moments sort it self out.
Have deleted the folders now in small batched of 50 at a time.
Think I hit the ram limit as only 4gb and was near end of limit before asking it to delete folders.
