text: what happened? i downloaded a software, now i can't find on the other user but it was there, and i want to delete it of my computer but i can't find. do a search on the computer. go to start menu and hit search and then do a search on the filename. if you remember the filename then it should pop up. where do your downloads usually end up in? you should go back to the download page and try to download it and it will show you where it has downloaded to. you just need to go back to that folder and track it. its possible you didnt save it on your hard drive. maybe you clicked on "open" instead of "save as" cuz if thats the case, then it saves it to the internet temp folder and then gets deleted.
