Steps for successful Mac cleaning:
- Choose the "All Documents" Smart Folder in the Finder
- Select All (Command-A or Edit Menu->Select All)
- Delete All Files (Command-Delete or drag to Trash)
- Empty Trash (Command-Shift-Delete or Right Click on Trash and choose "Empty Trash")
- Tell your system admin you just completed steps 1-4.
NOTE: Do not do this! This will not cleanse your Mac. This is merely a warning for all those who've had the urge. Learn from others as I have today.
One of my users discovered the joy of Smart Folders and thought he'd do a bit of spring cleaning. His computer is still running, but with 10,000 random files missing, we will be reformatting in the near future.
