This year at the Apple store the technician told me it is the same, both ways. Only if I am planning to sell the computer or don't want the data to be recovered. I was doing secure thinking I will get more space. The way you wrote the article it looks that just empty the trash will live the computer full of trash and for sure with less space available. So, if I don't mind about someone recovers my data, do I still have to secure empty trash for space reasons? Thank you, Jean Pierre Rousselet I used to do that, always secure empty trash, but sometimes it takes a while.
