Nikdaquick5 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi guys!I just recently downloaded utorrent for my new mac and I was happy with it. Until I tried to delete all files! In utorrent I went right-click, remove all files and I thought I was done for but when I checked my disk it still had the same used space. I already checked the folder the downloads are supposed to be in and it was empty. Please help me get my free space back! I'm new to mac so I don't know where to look for or what the problem might be.Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feroluce Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 uTorrent is a bittorrent client, think of it as a download manager. All you deleted were, essentially, shortcuts.Go to where uTorrent put the files [preferences -> downloads -> default download location] and delete them there.Mac is a lot more simple and intuitive then PC but you have all that PC brainwashing to get over ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikdaquick5 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thank you for the quick response! Unfortunately I did try that already in the very beginning. When I said remove all files the program actually did delete all the files in my "download" folder which is also the default download folder. I checked the folder and there were really no files in there but again... I haven't gotten any more free space! That is why I was asking you guys because I know that normally with os x you just have to put something in the trash remove it from there and then it's gone for sure but not this time. I thought maybe there is some folder like a temp folder but I couldn't find anything similar to that. This really sucks because I know there has to be about 10 gig on my disk which I can't use due to the problem with utorrent. If it helps: I have a Macbook Air standard edition, meaning 1,6 ghz and so on.If you have any ideas... please post them Update: Nothing has changed so I still haven't got my space back Since nobody seems to have an idea what might be wrong here I'd like to ask you guys if you know how to contact somebody from utorrent directly because I don't want to go to apple with this as you might imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
