where did my memory went ?

[tautvexe5]

so i tried to install Blade and Soul, and after waiting in launcher (2-4 hrs not sure now) i gave up since it went to 500kb/s down to 1000bite/s and then up and down while i average 10MB/s usually.

so i just uninstalled, but i did not received my hard drive space back, i double checked to uninstall a launcher and game separately. nothing, restarted , still nothing.

what now ?

First check the game installation folder. Also you might try to do a disk cleanup.

disc cleanup would give me 1 GB (recycle bin) witch i can empty but i keep some files just in case there.

i dont think that could give me anyting else besides that.

Do you know game installation folder? What client do you use for blade and soul, STEAM?

I'm not familiar with the game so i googled it and it took me to BladeandSoul.com and can download a 200MB lite installer, is this it?

I'm guessing that gives you a launcher which then downloads the rest of the game? It could be using your internet temp folder which disk cleanup would have ticked.

How are you sure you lost space? Were you space conscious before downloading?

i had about 420 GB free (lel) installed some C++ restr (takes up 300~ MB) and thats it.

nowi have 407GB (after uninstalling). whre can i find internet temp folder ?

Also check C:\Program Files (x86) for NCSOFT(BNS) and NCwest (Launcher) folders

You'll have the option of cleaning temp folder if you run cleanup in system tools as Nerijus suggested

Or c:\temp or c:\Windows\temp. Can manually delete. Check the file size combined by highlighting all > right click > properties. If you made a mistake by duplicating (God i hate that lol but serves me right being too quick for myself sometimes) ctrl z will reverse last action sending to recycle bin.

Unrelated tip: Shift + delete bypasses recycle bin if you didn't know that.

Run a virus/malware scanner.

 

[boju]

What operating system are you running?

There are guides on how to enable the hidden administrator if you need it.

What were you doing when it bsod?

well my bluescreens are kinda hardware releated, too lazy to fix it, something with RAM

i was playing lol while chatting on skype, its allways the same.

game starts to load, i ALT+ TAB, but when i press on mozilla to enter 2ez.gg (but manage to press only on empty tab and press 2 when it bluescreens)

i'm runing windows 7 ultimate x64

 

[Nerijus_1]

And what size is your disk? Also what is your operating system? Have you done disk cleanup with system cleanup?

930GB (1 TB )

windows 7 ultiamte x64

mo i dont think i have done any cleanups recently, tho i cleared some old recordings and such, though i dont think it should have opened up so much space

 

[Nerijus_1]

that is strange, this much space might appear after disk cleanup, system cleanup, and sometimes when you reboot all freed up space appear. But if you haven't done it, it is strange, check for viruses like boju suggested, also use disk check utility, download it from hdd vendor, to check your disk.

i dont think its a virus, i have avast! runing 24/7 though i will need to do a scan tomorrow, and i have plans to rewriting windows (formatting HDD) soon, i'm just prepearing to backup my sensitive data.

 

[Nerijus_1]

Well on a bright side you got more space, than you asked for 😀.

What i believe your issue here is this:

When you start downloading a Steam game it reserves the disk space temporarily for that game while it downloads.
When you abort it in the middle of the downloading it isnt so positive so something must have gone wrong when
you aborted the download so the disk space is somewhat still reserved for that purpose..
