Piriform recuva temporary file location

[phoenix1313k]

Hi,
I recently used the piriform recover to see how it works. And scanned my F: drive for recovery. But i didn't recover anything. Still the software has taken my 3gb of c drive for temporary file i guess. How can i free this memory. I even uninstalled the software, check temp file location, but no use. Please Help...

Did you try manually deleting the folder it was installed in?

Yeah, first i checked it's size. It was around 10mb. So i tried uninstalling, but no luck.

Run Treesize to find out where the files are that are eating up the space.

Thanks for the info, it worked.. actually it was not Recuva that was taking that space. It was the hibernate system file. It had taken 5gb. mybad... Anyway thanks a lot...

Ya, the hiberfile in windows 7 eats up space for breakfast if you don't disable it.
