7-Zip filled up my C drive (Win 8) and I can't figure out what directory it put the temporary files into. Disk Cleanup shows 0 temp files. Any ideas?

WinDirStat is a program I've used before to analyze what files are filling up a hard drive and it works well. The graphical portion of it seems pretty gimmicky but actually ends up adding some usability to the whole thing(if you're looking for a particular file extension, you can click that on the right hand side and then look for large highlighted boxes at the bottom.)

I haven't tested it in Windows 8, though, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.

Let me say what other are thinking: huh?

More info would be helpful.

It uses your users temp location. Assuming you didn't change it c:\users\%username%\appdata\temp
