Can someone help please?
I bought Mackeeper in order to access the Shredder for the purpose of deleting files permanently off my hard drive. All the files are from e-mail - mobile me and gmail. I cannot seem to access them in order to shred them through the Mackeeper shredder and even if I do as soon as I search for them using spotlight or search in mail they pop straight back up. How do I erase them for good?

I'm guessing here, but those files, if they came as an attachment to an email for instance, you would need to delete the email to fully remove the file .... maybe this is why they keep popping up?

If you provide more info it would help ... be as specific as you can.

Do you use Webmail or Mail.app?

What exactly do you mean when you write "they pop back up?"
