Hi, guys. Just like the title says - I am thinking about all those files which I downloaded using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer, but for which I didn't choose "save", I chose "run", so they couldn't be found in Downloads folder.
I am interested to know where are stored those files, and are they stored there temporarily - until I restart the browser or my PC, or they stay there taking up the space?

If they are being stored, I would like to know how to find them and delete them? :)

Thanks in advance, and kind regards! samir89ns

Many times when you choose run, the program doesn't d/l a hard copy to your PC it stores it in cache. This link may explain it better for you.
