how do you delete projects from your hard drive?

i have downloaded over 100 projects and i do not save them, yet it still somehow stores them on my hard-drive. whenever i search for these, it will not show them and i cant delete them through scratch. what do i do? they are taking up LOADS of space.

Are you on a Mac or a PC? If you're on a Mac, I can help you... But if you aren't, I can't.

Re: how do you delete projects from your hard drive?

If you really would like to remove every single scratch project from your pc search for all .sb files on your hard drive, select them all and delete them. But that, really, is a bad idea.

If you opened those projects by clicking 'open' when clicking the download link they are stored somewhere in a temporary folder. I think you can clean them up by clearing your browser cache and running a Disk Cleanup...

If You are using FIrefox just go
Tools --> downloads-->Right click on a download --> Open containting folder. Then find all of the scratch projects you don't want and delete them. Also Delete other unwanted Files.
