Lost gigabytes

[endeavour]

Hello!

I have a problem, when utorrent is running the memory on drive C is going down to complete zero. Delete some files and situation of course didn't proved, same things again. all downloads and uploads are on external hard drive, I'm already missing about 15 GB. Folders: Windows, Program files, Documents and settings do not changing their volume. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Some programs can cause this issue, by creating a massive quantity of TEMP files when you're downloading files through µT.

Can you post Hijackthis log please.

a wild guess: windows swap file is increasing ? try disabling Win cache tip A.1 in this guide

[endeavour]

thanks, rafi. will do it next time installed utorrent. now utorrent is uninstalled but memory volume remains the same. I can't find where is this trash. it should be a folder or a huge file. (I'm not strong in computers)

[endeavour]

found the problem:

I'm using peerguardian2, so it's history grown up to 22 GB! file just deleted, All oK now.

SequoiaView is a nice software.
