Moderators Andavari Posted April 24, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2019 Look in the root directory for example if you ran it on drive C: look in drive C: but don't go into any sub-folders, there should be files or folders that have allot of Z's in the name, those would be the file created during the wipe and should be large in size.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 25, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2019 Try disabling Hidden Files and Folders in Windows. I can't remember if it hides those files, or if they're just plainly visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicon Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Failing that use windirstat to find the culprit folder. https://windirstat.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
