Computer peeps, question for you.

[Mojoe]

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.

show hidden files? also make sure there aren't any hidden folders on your desktop that might have a bunch of files in it.

You sure its on the desktop and not your user profile which includes documents, pics, desktop etc?

I think you're right Tommy.

Sounds like that is the case thigh I do know people who use the desktop as a repository, I hate those people!

Bugs me too. Only what I'm working on is on the desk top. Thanks

Did you only select the desktop folder or the entire C Drive?

[Mojoe]

Only desk top folder

[dakotart]

Only desk top folder

 

Run it again and select the root of C. You'll find the folder that has the data.
