I'm sure this is a "newb" problem for some of you so let me preface this with .....Sorry for wasting your time......however any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know when extracting any file from a compressed .zip or .rar to an external HD ....there are some files that are temporarily stored on the internal HD until the transfer is complete. Herein lies my problem.
I was attempting to do just this. At the start of my transfer....I had about 20gbs of internal HD space available. I assumed incorrectly that this would be sufficient. About 3/4 of the way into the transfer it stopped and gave me the error message of "insufficient disk space." I didn't consider this that much of a problem at first. I figured I would simply have to delete a few old folders/files.
However....when I took a look at my internal HD mem....it now reads 15kb. So my question is......WTF!!??? lol ...sorry. I assume that those temp files from the transfer are still on my computer .....hogging up space. The problem is ....I have no idea where to look for them at so I may remove them.
So my obvious question is......where are they? Another is ......is that not a stupid mechanic to not auto delete files from a transfer if the transfer isn't completed correctly. Seems odd to me.
Any help would be had.
Thanks folks
