I have an external drive that I use with my laptop, called (for argument's sake, it's actually my name) "HARD DRIVE". I use it for Bit Torrent files, so a few times I've run BT without realizing that the drive wasn't plugged in -- apparently the volume where everything was supposed to be was then created on my hard drive, or something along those lines... I only realized this because when uploading files with a Java webapp I noticed that there were a bunch of volumes called "HARD DRIVE 1," "HARD DRIVE 2," etc. I suspect that a large amount of data ended up being placed in these and they're clogging up my internal hard drive, but I can't actually seem to find them with Finder so that I can delete them.

Does this make sense? Any ideas? Thanks!
 
thank you

If they exist, they are in /Volumes. Open a Finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G and type in /Volumes.

Thank you very much! I had the same problem. I couldn't find the /volumes in order to delete folder...
it was so easy :) i'm glad i find you. thanks. stefano
