computer help?!
« on: May 29, 2005, 01:46:52 am »
Ok. I was downloading one of iago's files. I closed Firefox but had the download window open. And then I looked at C:\ drive, and it had 40 FUCKING MB LEFT. And the Download window would not close. And now I can't find out what took all that space up, and I only have 106mb left on C:\. Help please anyone.

Find which folder is taking up all the space, and narrow it down. Use the "Details" view in Windows Explorer.

Check the Kazaa Shared Folder Path. C:\Program files\kazaa\shared

It probably downloads to a temp folder.

Check documents and settings/<username>/temp or <username>/local settings/temp or something like that.

Don't use Kazaa.

I checked there RIGHT away. I didn't find the file.

so here's a question, cause I managed to free up about 50mb more...

Where does Firefox put files that haven't finished downloading, but manage to stay on C:\?

Fine check for "C:\Windows\System\winmgd.win"

FF should put things in the Temporary Internet FIles folder.

I checked there. There was no file that was 100+mb. The folder's not even that big!

Does not exist.

I don't remember, but do what Newby said.  It's bound to be somewhere under documents and settings/yourname.

Before I downloaded file, 300mb~(give or take 10) free.
After download and Firefox blowing up, 48.* mb. Now, because I cleared out a bit of my files in Temp, 116mb.

Which brings me to another point:

If I was to delete a folder for Installshield that was used when Flash MX was installed, would it be bad?

Here's your solution: Get another harddrive.

If I ever had under 5GB of storage free, I'd order another. IDE Harddrives aren't that expensive.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
