[uhuhnottelling]

it's the darndest thing roy. on a lappy running windows 8 i found the culprit. The entire time the folder was being scanned it created a music & kmh file in C:\\users\name\Appdata\Local\Temp\MTU_Hoster

i deleted them as fast as they filled up this temp folder and finally managed to scan the folder. on two previous attempts the same thing happened... as it was scanning, the harddrive was being filled by these files and once the harddrive completely filled up the scanning could no longer resume. deleting these files cleared over 80G on the harddrive.

Although i found the sneaky folder on a windows 8 laptop i have not been successful finding the same folder on my personal lappy running windows 7. I have searched. i have opened every folder on my C drive, i have used clean sweep and other tools to try to delete left over temp directory items and nothing. i am left with a personal computer with only few MB free. the act of scanning the folder seems to have created duplicates somewhere but even a find dupes program did not yield any luck.

the only other thing i can possibly think of is to completely uninstall hoster is hopes that phantom files would also disappear.

is this not just the weirdest thing
