Hi Folks,
Am using Imac G5, OSX 10.4.11.
I just discovered an Applications Folder within my Applications folder on my hard Drive. Not sure how long its been there. Every item in both folders is identical including size, I'm positive of this, have checked it numerous times. And if I use an item in the Applications Folder it changes the date modified of that item in both folders.
I am assuming that the Apps Folder within the Apps folder is a duplicate. I have no idea how this could have happened. I placed the Apps Folder from within my Apps folder in the trash so I could test the items in the remaining Apps Folder and they all work fine, but I am worried about emptying the trash in case I am missing something.
My questions:
-is it safe to just go ahead and trash (and empty it) the Applications Folder that is in my Applications folder?
-is there anything else I should be looking for?
-any idea how this happened?
Thanks
