Mojoe Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Going through my computer, clearing things out and reorganizing. I noticed the memory/HD was more full than I figured it would be. Started clicking on the properties of each of folder, and the desk top shows 254 gigs. I only have 3 copies of my resume that I'm working on, on the desk top, and the trash can that's empty. I like to keep it clear. Only thing I can think is when I was copying movies from a friends external HD, I may have dropped them by accident outside what I see on the desk top. I had done that once before a long time ago with a single file and was able to search the file and then move it. Now, I don't see anything. I don't know what I'm looking for. How do I find this 254gigs? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotart Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Not showing 254 gigs on desk top with that program. Just shows the files I see. Did you only select the desktop folder or the entire C Drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Only desk top folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotart Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Only desk top folder Run it again and select the root of C. You'll find the folder that has the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
