JaVe_Shroom Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 So I was downloading a game that took up 7gb of space and I restarted my computer when I came back the download wasn't working it just said 0% so I removed the download and went back to the game website and tried to download again but it said that I didnt have enough space on my computer so the old download I removed from the downloads list is still on my computer and is taking up 7 gb of space (The download never finished so it is just a a file that takes 7gb?) anyway I cant find where the incomplete download is to remove it and now there is 7gb of space missing on my computer can someone please help me find the missing download that is taking so much space?

JaVe_Shroom Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 -ody- I did that already but the download wasnt completed when I did it (Dont know if that would effect it) But it deleted the donwload from my list but the 7gb of space is still gone. Before I started the download I had 11 gb or something now I only have 3gb The download still seems to be taking up space even though the download never finished downloading and I cant see it on the download task menu.

Plugger Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Try the broom icon on the tool bar to clear your download history. You might try resetting your cache settings in advanced options. Maybe delete the whole cache folder.... Be aware with so little space on your pc, it will become very slow.

Also you can perform a seach using the windows search feature and the name of the file. PS : If you try to download a 7 gb to this disk, then no wonder you get in troubles, you should keep at least 10 % free space on your disk. maybe do some cleaning. @Plugger : you beat me !
