Scratch

Forget that! I got it! If you have a PC, go to My Documents. Click on search and then click on 'all files and folders', then click on 'more advanced options', select 'search subfolders', 'search hidden files and folders' and 'search system folders'. Then, under 'look in', select local hard drive, or C: Drive. Under 'All all part of the file name:' write 'costumes'. Then click search. Wait for the search to finish, and there should be a folder called 'costumes', that is where they are.

If you have a mac, then I dunno. If you don't have XP, then it might be a bit different. If it's not working, then tell me what you are doing, and I'll see what I can do.

Are you sure the location you're looking in is C:\Program Files\Scratch\Media? All my exported sprites are there.

Then search for .sprite files

i'm not sure how that is done, could you explain a little more please?

Go to 'My Documents', then click on search. A list of options about where you want to search will come up. Click on:
All Files and folders

Then under 'all or part of the file name', write 'sprites'. Then you under 'look in', select local disk. Click on 'advanced options', then put a tick next to:
Search System Folders
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders

Then click search. I don't know why that didn't work with costumes, what kind of Windows do you have?

That's ok - just type "sprite" in the start menu, then wait... And wait... When nothing comes up, a link to an advanced search appears - try thatone and make sure it also searches system/hidden folders.

so i typed "sprite" in the original search, then went to the advanced search. i selected it to search everything, and the checkbox to search hidden folders, ect. for the name, i typed in the name of the sprite i exported, but when i searched for it, nothing came up. unfortunately, it still doesn't work. any more ideas?

Type costumes instead, that might work, and make sure you search the local disk, or C: Drive

that's the first thing i tried. i can see the sprites that came with scratch, and the ones i put there myself, but not the exported sprites.

Hmmm...

Sounds like you are better with computers than i am. again, not sure where to find that and locate the checkbox. sorry i dont really mess with that kind of stuff on a regular basis.

i exported them into the "things" folder which is in the "costumes" folder. when i view them in scratch, i can see them fine of course. but i can't delete them directly from scratch. the problem is viewing them out of scratch. i can't see them at all

actually i was hoping that someone more knowlegable than you and i (paddle2see) would take a look at this topic, and confirm that it is not possible, or find a way to delete exported sprites.
