Utorrent Problem

Post by RafTen »

I have very strange problem with my uTorrent 1.6.1. Maybe someone could help me. I'll try to explain it in english, so I hope it will be understandable :P

When I finish to download/upload torrent and I want to delete it from my computer the files dissapear but there's no more free space on hdd then it was before I deleted torrent files.
For example: capacity of my disc is 50 GB. I download dvd with uTorrent and lets say size of it is 4 GB. So now my free disc space is 46 GB. When I delete this downoladed dvd I still have only 46 GB of free space! What's going on????
It's started to be really frustrating because total free space on my discs is now 6 GB when there should be around 22 GB of free space!!! And whan I check total size of all files on my disc I also see that there should be 22 GB of free space more! Where has gone the lost space on my disc? Anybody seen something like that before?

May be the files are in the "Recycle"? :)

There are no miracles in this world. Thet are either hidden or in the recycle. Try to "unhide" all your hidden folders and check sizes of each folder.

well, believe me I've tried that too. It's no a miracle dude, but rather some kind of defect which I'd like to fix but I don't know how :(

I guess you have hidden and/or system files/folders. Also Windows can reserve some space for "restore".

nope, I use option "show hidden files or folders". I'm not compleat noob in this subject, so don't worry, I have already checked all the hiddend and system folders, recycle bin, TEMP folders etc. and this problem is something I've never seen or heard before...

There are another option, smth like "hide system folders". I don't have english Windows and I can't remember an exact name. I think you didn't check it since I can't find for example a folder called "System Volume Information" or "Recycler".

Sorry if I'm wrong.

check your temp folders which are in ''documents and setting folder'' and ''windows folder''
