Huge chunk of fraged files - can't acess them

hoopioz · 06-05-2007, 07:09 AM

I've been ignoring this for awile now and it's just started annoying me. When I go to defrag my computer there is always a huge solid bar of fragmented files(50 gigs worth) and when I go where it says the files are located they are nowhere to be found.

this is the file :

\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp\Photoshop temp435475

I uninstalled photoshop already and all related files, I REALLY don't want to reformat the computer. Thanks in advance for any help.

check the recycle bin,did you empty it before you defragged,when you bin something it retains it's place on the h/drive until the bin is emptied

Hidden Files??

check the View, File types (not 100% sure) to see if you have show hidden files.
