Ok, so i was exporting a movie in premiere, but didnt realize i had codec set to none.. my hard drive had at least 125gb free when i started.. i left it running overnight, and when i woke up i had an error message in premiere saying "DISK FULL".. so i checked, and im now down to like 500mb.. but heres the kicker... NO FILE TO DELETE to give me back my space.. ive tried doing numerous searches with hidden files showing, ive tried windows washer to clear whatever i could. but its still only showing 500mb free... i restarted, shutdown rebooted...im thinking its a swap file or something but cant find anything.. i really need to get this space back.. any ideas? thanks in advance..

Yes the File is Probably in the Premier Directory in a Temp Folder...

You might also use the Windows Search Feature a Look for all AVI Files on your System which should be able to find it for you...

Cheers

still no luck.. the temp files (ie scratch disks, etc) are on a completely different drive.. i had the movie rendering out to the folder where the original files were.. i was basically combining a bunch of movies into 1 full movie.. but theres nothing there.. so, the search function didnt work, the premiere search didnt work (unless im looking in the wrong place in premiere), and a program called i.disk that supposedly tells your where your space went...i think im outta options here.. any other ideas?? this sucks.. i really need someones help here.. thanks again

go to windows explorer. make sure you can view all hidden folders/files. go through each folder and view the properties to see the size. look specifically at your documents and settings folder, as that is often where many temp folders are. if not then go on to the programs files. just keep going and look at the properties of each folder until you find one thats huge. then when you do expand those to narrow down your search. its got to be there somewhere, it might just take a while depending on how much stuff you have on your computer.
