A Random Confusing Question

[frostyb15]

I use my MP3 Player (Creative Zen Xtra 60GB) as an external hard drive to store files from my iPod since I haven't gotten around to getting a larger hard drive on my PC. Anyway, i was transferring a large folder from the the MP3 player to my Desktop and I didn't realize the file was so big and Windows warned me about low hard drive space. So I cancelled the Transfer and deleted the files that had been already placed on my desktop. Now, my problem is, i started out with 5.89GB's on the hard drive b4 the transfer, after i deleted the files i had 3.02GB's. I thought maybe something was stored in my temp folders or something so I performed:

• Defrag
  
• Disk Cleanup
  
• Cleaned out my History Folder
  
• And searched around looking for the files that i was transferring
  

and none of these worked. Do you know where these files may have gone if they are in fact still in my PC and how do I get my missing GB's back?

Try ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) it will give u some space...

Also you can do manually...

run - %temp% - delete all the files and folders

run - temp - delete all the files and folders

run - prefetch - delete all the files

Also delete temporary internet files

If you have multiple user account dont fail to delete their temp folders too...

Have a good day

Yeah, CCleaner is a must. Many people don't realize it's true power.

There simply is no need of another cleanup tool, unless you're an expert like Andromeda and make your own batch files or something.
