"So around 5 am I did a restore at Nov 6th because the coputer would not let me go any further back, perhaps it new something I didn't. (at least I didn't know where to look) & when I left for work at 8:20 the restore was still in motion although near the end."
How the heck do you get 14 hours out of the above?? Actually it was about 5:30 when I clicked the restore so say 3 hours to 8:30.
I must say I don't empty the recyle bin that often but there is never much in it.
Cookies I will look into but think there is an auto delete after a few days.
