20:44:04 <pa_1907> Hello and help
20:45:13 <pa_1907> help
20:46:11 <Gizmokid2005> pa_1907: ask your question
20:46:16 <Gizmokid2005> if someone is around and can help, they will
20:47:26 <pa_1907> I downloaded what I needed to and when prompted, selected that I wanted it all downloaded to my usb. The apps appear on the usb however, the memory that it all used is taken from my hard drive space and not the usb space
20:47:36 <pa_1907> did I do something wrong?
20:50:56 <Gizmokid2005> First, how are you checking where the space was used?
20:52:37 <pa_1907> by clicking on the folder icon on the left of the tool bar
20:52:49 <pa_1907> when it opens, there are my 3 drives
20:53:21 <pa_1907> the C, the D which is now Portable apps D and then the toshiba external drive
20:54:02 <Gizmokid2005> pa_1907: if the D drive is now PortableApps they should've installed there
20:54:06 <Gizmokid2005> if you open D:\PortableApps\
20:54:10 <Gizmokid2005> do you see all of the apps you installed?
20:57:07 *** pa_0808 (62041222@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.4.18.34) has joined #portableapps
20:57:20 <pa_0808> Sorry, the screen siezed
20:57:31 <pa_0808> I do see the Portable Apps
20:58:05 *** pa_1907 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
20:58:35 <pa_0808> however, whatever space was used for that, is showing that it was taken from the hard drive C
20:58:44 <Gizmokid2005> so you have the list of apps you installed in D:\Portableapps\ correct?
20:58:51 <pa_0808> correct
20:59:10 <Gizmokid2005> Then the space on C is probably your installers then.
20:59:22 <Gizmokid2005> They're probably in your user's download folder, right?
21:00:34 <pa_0808> installers? kind new to all of this
21:01:48 <Gizmokid2005> How did you get PortableApps on your D: drive?
21:01:53 <Gizmokid2005> You downloaded something and ran it, right?
21:02:43 <pa_0808> yes, I downloaded from PortableApps, and when the screen came up, I chose for the files to be downloaded to the D: drive
21:03:30 <pa_0808> so was just puzzled as to why the space was used or "taken" from the C: drive instead of the D: drive
21:04:00 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0808: you need to find what caused the space change in the C: drive.
21:04:21 <Gizmokid2005> If the apps are shown in D:\PortableApps\AppNamePortable
21:04:24 <Gizmokid2005> they're installed correctly.
21:05:02 <pa_0808> ok, I hoped so. And was looking as to what took up the space in the C:
21:05:08 <Gizmokid2005> chances are it's some installer or temp files that are on the C: drive.
21:05:44 <pa_0808> one of the things I installed as a portable was a Defrag
21:06:10 <pa_0808> once I ran that, do you think that saved things as a "back up?" and therefore would
21:06:22 <pa_0808> have used up the space that is now missing?
21:07:11 <Gizmokid2005> No
21:07:15 <pa_0808> I just have to be really careful about what takes up space on this computer
21:07:19 <Gizmokid2005> defrag doesn't actually move files
21:07:36 <pa_0808> as it has a very small hard drive and I will be using it for work purposes
21:08:06 <pa_0808> ok, so then it's not the Defrag
21:08:10 <Gizmokid2005> Nope.
21:08:59 <pa_0808> well, will do some more investigating then, thanks for your time!
