Sir ,
Pls tell me where to find files which gets extracted when double clicking "dotnetfx35.exe" ???
ie Microsoft . NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 ( Full Package)
People say that folder get created in C:\ root ,
But in my case there is no such folder .. i have tested it by pausing the extraction process using 7-zip , and trying to find ..
but somewhere hidden , files are consuming space in C Drive
Ccleaner is not able to remove those files ..
Regards ,
Some Microsoft install packages and especially those from the Microsoft Update website will typically store the temporary setup files on the hard disk with the most free space available in a randomly created temporary folder name. It's usually a hidden folder in the root of a hard disk (not necessarily on the C: drive if you have another hard disk or hard disk partition with more free space available).
Examples:
H:\ebuegipsbleagesylntcy
P:\qwmiytenfpuytrsxzxnhji
Hi monish, and welcome to Piriform.
It might help in your search for unusual folders, as suggested by Andavari, if you do it with "Treesize".
Treesize: (Freeware Portable Version)
This will show the location and size of every folder (including hidden folders), on whichever hard drive you select.
Hope that helps.
