ORLY??????

I've used Nero before. Now I need to hunt around and look for unexpected copies. Damn!

Were the temp files in one location?

Fortunately yes! They're all in a nice little folder in "My Documents" labeled "Nero Vision". I actually only stumbled across it because when I tried defragging again there was a file in a HUGE number of fragments (like over a thousand!) and it was in that folder. So I went to look and went O_O

o.o How very very irritating of Nero!

Congratulations on finding it!

Thanks!

Oy! But at least now you know where all your free space went... and it's now free again. :)

Free! I'm FREEEEEE!

Um. Yeah. I just spent 2 1/2 hours in a meeting, so I might be a touch fried...
