Hello Everyone,

I tried to install Maplestory today, the Japanese version if that makes any difference. I have windows 8 bootcamped on my mac with very little extra HDD space, so I install almost everything to my external HDD. I was installing maplestory to my external when the download failed due to my C: drive running out of space. When i quit the download my C: drive was (and still is) out of space. I had a little over a gigabyte of free space when I started the download, now I have virtually none. I have searched for any nexon or nclauncher related folder on my C: to no avail, and have run CCleaner as well to no avail.

Apparently maplestory stores huge temporary files while downloading (up to 6plus gigs for the 2gb program, that are then deleted when the download finishes.) People say if the download fails you go to your maplestory folder and delete the files, but I have no maplestory folder since I was downloading to another drive and it never finished to begin with.

Any one have any idea how I might find and delete these files?

Thanks

Good place to try:
C:\Users\<profilename>\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Users\<profile name>\Downloads

pretty much anything and everything in there is temp files and none of it is critical unless you are doing installation in background. Windows also does abysmal job of deleting unnecessary temp files.
That is assuming that it stored stuff there.

It is also matter of opinion but if you like it, windirstat shows what is big and where more graphically.
