That was it. I have just worked on a show that involved a lot of people and folders and large shared files, which was the only thing left in the box...I don't quite understand why that never happened before, but in any case, deleting that and the everything in the deleted files folder took care of it.

The computer is still a mystery to me....I am really a dinosaur.
