Where is the temp folder, for "compressed (zipped) folders"?

[LocoPollo]

I have a little problem with "compressed zipped folders" that I can only solve manually - my computer froze while it was unzipping a file - and now I wanna find that tempfile so that I can remove it (it has eaten like 1 gb of my system partition)

So: where is the folder located that contain the temporary files while windows generate the unzipped file??`

Thanks alot!!

Try this location -

C:\Documents and Settings\Usernamexxxx\Local Settings\Temp

You may have to show all hidden and system files too.


A program like this may be helpful to you.

Thanks alot!

You were right, thats where the files are hidden!

I miss another program that does the same as the one you send. I dont remember the name of it though.

I once found a "simple" but so cool program, it showed your harddisk like a big messy bookcase, each file shown as a book, and folders like books on top of eachother.

Does anyone know the name of that program?? it is really useful to get a quick picture of what is eating your space. Often useless files eats space, and it can even be a big bite of your harddisk... so even people with big harddisks are losing 5% of their harddisk on nothing.

Thanks again!

This thread while not having links to the type of programs you refer to has a lot of good information on regaining back lost space.
