I recently upgraded to Google Earth 7 and it started downloading crap files onto my hard drive. Running in the background even when I wasn’t using GE. I have a 1 terabyte hard drive and it started telling me I was low on memory. I have MAYBE about 150 gigs of data, etc.

I think this is the correct file C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\unified_cache_leveldb_leveldb2 .

I had uninstalled GE but hadn’t deleted this file. By the time I stopped it it had downloaded about 750 gigabytes of crap. I actually didn’t find it until I was trying to do a recent backup and it got stuck here. There were something like 2.4 million files in there. I don’t know what they were.

I don’t know why anyone would have anything Google related on their computer, or anywhere else for that matter.

I am sure the drain is clogged beyond measure. This stuff can only be used to incriminate you after they have decided to single out your communications.

There is safety in numbers. I have a hard time reading my own emails, imagine trying to hire enough staff to read the emails of Millions of people.

Screw them, if they want me, they know where I live.

But they can put you in jail until you give them your passwords. I know that sounds like it’s self incrimination; however, that’s exactly what the courts have done.

Barbequing does wonders for concealing data that is left behind in the drives and system buffers.

You people are much too selective. I think the entire Zero administration is a sick bunch of queer Muslim loving deviates.

The Russians are ordering typewriters. And there are always carrier pigeons.

I’d be happy just to stop the “updates” from changing how my screen looks and functions. I hate doing a system restore over and over.
