I just opened Eve client unintentionally to have it create a rather annoying problem. An option to cache my client files 'somewhere else' appeared, which gave me no option to refuse or do later. I was in a hurry and it seemed to have stalled so i terminated the process. Now i have a small primary SSD with >5gb space free and a large primary HD onto which Eve is installed. This caching process has just taken up every byte of space available on the primary SSD.

I cannot find the data to remove, and it doesn't disppear with an uninstall. Disk cleanup provides no relief. This is a really annoying thing as it causes a lot of blue screens. I struggle all the time with updates taking up that vital space, including windows and crashdumps.

Will have to resort fo a space sniffer file to deduce where the space was lost.

Edit; not even enough free space on HD to uninstall any programs or use spacesniffer which is 80kb...

Check "C:\ProgramData\CCP". At least I think that is where my launcher decided that the cache needed to be instead of on the drive that eve was installed on. You may have to enable "show hidden files/folders" in order to see the ProgramData folder.
