Hi folks
I am currently having problems locating and invisible video file from
my C drive.
What happen is I copied a dvd to a temporary files as prompted by the
software but there was a glitch and it was not copied properly later
into the blank CD. If it had succeeded the so called temporary files
would have vanished.

Now my C drive just bloated by more than 4 gigs of a file that I can't
see.
I would like to remove it but I am at a loss what to do as it
invisible.
Can anybody knows how to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Start with the app that wrote the file does it have a temp folder ?
Look here C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp, and
C:\windows\temp

Also try an advanced search for
files created on [day]
see what comes up in the results

Hi Roberto
When I copied that file by Roxio there was supposed to be a temporary
files but as the copying screwed I can't find it.
Anyway I will try your suggestions and revert back.

Hi Rob...
I did what you said to me using theC:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp, andAfter I did a series of runs the all temporary files folder are all
empty. Does it mean that the video files that got screwed up had become
a permanent file?
My C drive has only 20 gig capacity and its has only 2.91 gig free
space remaining from nearly 7.5 earlier before I did that DVD copy
thing.
I want to remove this unseen file ...
Does anybody knows how to remove an unseen files from the C drive?
Thanks in advance!

Fritz I would like to ask.... if this freeware can locate the invisible
files can it be then deleted normally?
I will download that warez later in my PC and see what that stuff is.
Anyway thanks for the information.
 
Hello Robert.
I did the advanced search option but it was unable to display the
file...anyway at least now I know the other features of the Search that
I did not realize previously...
Thanks for that!

Hello Fritz,
The Sequoia Software ROCKS! Better than window explorer in finding
hidden files!
I was able to see a clear picture of what are those files in my C drive
and
I successfully located the files which was labeled by the Sequioia as
Temp only consist of two gigabyte each labeled in MS Dos as
PXW6(1'1TMP and PXW6(1"2 TMP.It appeared exactly the time it was
created on July 10
Is there anybody having any idea what these file means?.
Now I would like to delete it but I can't move the file to the
recycle bin as it keep saying that is used by another person.
I cant see that file in windows explorer and only in your fabulous
software. But when I opened in sequioia and clicking explore
If I can't display the file via Sequoia I can't see it
When I clicked it in the windows Explorer version after using explore
it was named as JETCE 57 tmp but its unmovable.
Is there a way to remove the file ?
Thanks a lot for pointers!
Rgds
