Eraser 5.8.8 used 2.5GB after using it

[rayanskie]

Hi Joel! I ran Eraser 5.8.8 last night but instead of increasing disk space, I lost 2.5GB of it after it was finished. What should I do?

 

[Joel]

Have you had a check at this post?

 

[rayanskie]

Yes but I don't know how to do it.I tried following the post but no success. I'm using Windows Vista. Please ?Help!

Is there a folder ERSFWD.TMP at the root of your C: drive?

 

[rayanskie]

how can I check if there's one? Im sorry Joel but I really can't follow the other posts.

 

[Joel]

Open up the C drive in Explorer and see if a folder by that name is in the list?

 

[rayanskie]

theres none..

Could you do a file search to find files which have been modified within the day that the unused space was erased and of whom the file size is unreasonably large? I remember such a bug in v5 a long time ago... though no one's fixed it since it was unreproducible and v5 is frankly old.

If you can't find a solution, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas too.
