I have done a couple DVDs that in the end I didnt rip to dvd. Basicaly I canceled he job. My system seems to be holding on the the cache or something. I had 25 gigs now Im down to 5Gigs. I am on windows 2000.
Is there a way to deleted the stored video, or cache or whatever it is that it is retaining? I cant find where its storing it.
Lost of disk space

Welcome to the forums,
First what version or program are you using, DVD MovieFactory, 4, 5, 6, 6+ ?
IF you're using DMF6+, open up the Preferences by clicking on the icon found in the lower left corner or just by pressing F6 on your keyboard. Now at the bottom there is a place where you can designate a Working Folder. That is where the program should be saving any files, caches, ect. To the right of this box, is an icon that looks like a folder, click on it, and it will open a browse window into the folder that was designated.
Next do you ever clean up your Temp files located elsewhere on your system? I'm not familiar with Win2K, however if it is similar to XP, then go to to C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameHere\Local Settings\Temp, and delete all the files in that folder. NOTE: you will need to make sure you can view hidden files/folders, as the Local Settings folder is a Hidden folder.
Or check to see if your OS has the option "Disk Clean Up". This will also allow for clearing out the Temp folder(s).

Here's something I've done a couple of times to find all of the 'big files" my hard drive:
Go to Start -> Search, and search for *.* (all files). Under Search Options, set it up to search for files larger than 10,000 kB (or whatever size you wish). Then, you can click on the Size column heading to sort the results by size, or click on the Folder heading to sort by location.
