ShredHeadJHJ Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 When I start to DL a Torrent & it won't DL, I obviously want to delete the Torrent File & The Partial Download.Lets say I DL a 2 gig file using utorrentLets say I have 170 gigs left on my hard driveWhen I hit the DL button I now have 168 gigs left on my hard driveThe Torrent doesn't DL so I right-click it & hit Delete Torrent File & Download FolderI still have 168 gigs leftNO files were ever sent to my recycling bin...This is a great example of what I'm talking about. I seriously have probably 7 or 8 gigs floating around on my computer that were never used from utorrent.I hope I explained this good. Can someone please give me a pointer on how to find & properly delete these files??? They don't appear to be in the utorrent folder in my Program Files...Thank you lords of the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredHeadJHJ Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I guess it appears to be bypassing my recycling bin... Does this sound right?? It's not holding files in that folder you were talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 By default µtorrent doesn't delete to the trash folder. You can enable this in advanced by setting gui.delete_to_trash to true. Deleting files with µtorrent should immediately clean up the free space and your HD should show more space accordingly. Deleting to the trashcan would NOT free up the space.FAT filesystems can sometimes misreport free space. Running a chkdsk/scandisk will restore the correct information but I hope you are using NTFS since FAT is outdated and has a couple of serious (nowadays) limits.
