Solved hidden memory

[Mylappysuckssss]

i have downloaded file from lan using DC++ in a particular folder but i can't find those downloaded files & window is using memory for those what to do

I'm not quite sure I understand what exactly your problem is... Are you saying you downloaded the files but you can't find them, even though you can see that they're taking up disk space...? If so, just use Windows' search function

 

[Mylappysuckssss]

yes you are right, i have downloaded all my files in folder named "new folder" but it's empty & they're taking disk space, earlier free space was 69gb now its 61gb & i can't find those files using search function, why search when i know i have downloaded those files to "new folder"

 

[yowanvista]

These files are probably hidden

ok but is there any way to find those files which i have downloaded earlier

 

[Zomby88]

I would open up C: and start at the first folder and work your way til you find it. It`s gotta be in there somewhere.

I am always telling people, save it to your desktop, scan it, then put it where you want. Never fails.

Just to recap, if you downloaded any files and didn't choose Save As and point the download to the folder you named New Folder, the download should default to Computer>Downloads.

Where is your "new folder"? What drive/partition is it on? If you right click it and select properties what does it contain what's its size and location.

Man you guys start drinkin early over there !! If he knew the answer I don`t think he`d be asking !!!

Try this, if you still can`t find it, download it again. This time wait to see where it will go before you just go and click save.

I much prefer to download everything to the default Downloads folder (you can even set this to display, either as a link or a cascading menu, on the right-hand panel of the Start Menu - see: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/265-start-menu-customize.html) as it is then relatively easy to find things (and move them to wherever you want), even when the folder is getting full (as mine is) since you know that that is the only place you need to look. Plus, it is easy enough to set up a custom scan of that folder should you wish to check for malware in anything you download (although I recommend that you do so explicitly on each new download, unless you trust its source).

OK what browser are you using. if it is ff you can check the downloads manager, also in IE you can check the downloads via the cog icon.
then select the download and in ff its a right click and open folder location, in IE its cog/ view downloads and under the location tab click it to open the location.
if its chrome then someone else can tell you as i wont use it.

What Dwarf suggests makes sense.

Just delete the folder you named New Folder and let all your downloads default to the Downloads folder.

Download the file again to the Downloads folder. At least you'll know where it is then.

HELLO EVERYBODY I MYSELF CHANGED THE DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY TO "NEW FOLDER" INSIDE PROGRAMS FILES IN "C" DRIVE OK & I'M DAMN SURE ABOUT IT BUT I CAN'T FIND MY FILES THERE, PROBLEM ARISE WHENEVER I DOWNLOAD FILES INSIDE PROGRAM FILES I CAN'T FIND ANY DOWNLOADED FILES & STILL ITS USES DRIVE MEMORY & I CHECKED DEFAULT EVEN THERE I CAN'T FIND MY DOWNLOADED FILES
