slaughter Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I deleted a torrent i didnt really want and it stopped downloading and all, but for some reason it has kept the memory allocation - which puts me out 2.7 gig! How do i get it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Did you remove and delete data?Did you try just deleting the files from your download folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaughter Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I only started the torrent for a minute - no data downloaded so no folder appeard in the downloads folder, i removed the torrent but the memory allocation was still gone.

jewelisheaven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Windows cacheing... If you start more torrents it should subside, or you can close uT... though it should release the hold on those files automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaughter Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I tried closeing uT but that didnt work, and restarting the comp didnt work either, i cant find any cache files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Check the recycling bin. If not there, then it's somewhere on your computer, just not where y ou think you put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Windows doesn't use cache files unless you're talking about the pagefile. However if you immediately lose RAM when starting up the computer it sounds like something is reserving it.. which you can see in Task Manager after showing the Virtual RAM usage column... and can sometimes be attributed to poorly constructed firewalls. Are you sure you're not talking about hard drive space.. in that case delete the folder with those files in it. Taking up the full space is usually when people pre allocate and don't use sparse files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think he means disk space, and not RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I can understand that. It took almost a year to teach the family back when... IT's NOT MEMORY, it's hard disk space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
