dieuzy Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, I was downloading a file and was just hoping to get one file from it. The original torrent was about 350 gb when I got it. I deselected all of them but one, and started downloading. Once it finished, i got the one file and everything was good. The only problem was that I was down about 350 gb on my Hard drive. Ive tried a google search and nobody seems to know how to delete these files and how to get rid of them. I was at 1.05 TB and now I am at about 724 gb left on my hard drive.

Harold Feit Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Preallocation of all files does that to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieuzy Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Is there any way to get rid of them/ get the space back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Once the torrent has completed downloading what you want, you've reached the seeding goal and you've removed the torrent from BitTorrent, you can simply delete the extra files.

dieuzy Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 The file is done, and I have deleted the torrent. The only file that I can see is the one that I wanted downloaded, and nothing else The disk space is still taken up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
