Well, there is a check box in write mode that you can check that will delete file when done. If it is not checked then it is on your hard drive. But if you go to write mode to write another disc it will tell you in the destination box where it is saving it. I know of no other place it would be saved. You can do a search on your system (under the start menu) and search for the file name and find it that way.
But after years of using DVD Decrypter i have never had it save the file anywhere other than the destination drive that i assigned in write mode.

This has happened to me before too, where the file *appears* to be deleted but on the HD it's still showing the space taken up...
Unfortunately I don't remember what I did to fix it...but I'd do some google searches to find the info you need.

Yeah i bet its the Norton ,TRY THIS ,delete norton and delete DVD Decrypter,then i would go into your C drive to a delete any unwanted folders ,files etc.do a disk cleanup and a defrag , reboot ,then reload Norton or (another viruse scan) which would be my choice, and reload DVD Decrypter. then you should get your harddrive space back .Norton caused me MANY problems so i got rid of it. and it EATS ram big time.

That program will wipe out just about anything, not the same thing as Adaware or Spybot.
From PC Magazine
"CyberScrub is a high level military grade security application designed to help you completely eliminate sensitive information from your computer, protect your Internet privacy, and enhance system performance. CyberScrub not only removes all traces and evidence of your Internet activity (email, history, cookies, cache, Media Player/Real Player, etc.) but completely flushes the "locked" Windows files (page, swap, .dat, etc.), Recycle Bin, Recent Docs list,peer2peer(KaZaa, etc.) and many other areas that may contain sensitive data. CyberScrub completely erases "previously deleted"
files, as well as providing secure deletion for removing current
files/folders. . CyberScrub also functions as a wonderful clean up utility by removing useless files (.bak. .chk, etc.) that slow down your computer. CyberScrub wipes free space, file slack and scrambles file names and creation dates. Cookie management allows you to keep selected cookies and erase others for total control. Utilizing multiple erasure methods that exceed standards set by the U. S. Department Defense (DOD 5220.22) , CyberScrub is designed to defeat the most advanced forensic software and hardware recovery techniques. Supports Internet Explorer, Netscape and Opera, MSN, AOL."
The only problem i have is that it costs $50 to buy and it is only a 15 day trial.

I can't believe that i Know the solution to this problem, and you guys don't. This has actually happened to me. It a feature of Norton Systemworks, where you can recover any deleted files from the Norton Protected Recycle Bin. If you dont want this to happen again, right click on the recycle bin, go to properties.Click on the Norton Protection Tab. There you can choose to delete the files which you thought were previously deleted. You can also choose to disable the feature(Uncheck 'Enable Protection')
Hope this helps, good luck.
