Triplane Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I installed FRAPS a couple of months ago to log framerates on test flights. At about the same time my nightly backups started growing in size. I was a little slow on the uptake but I finally realized the culprit causing my shrinking SSD was FRAPS. What I didn't know (gotta pay more attention to the details) is that the FRAPS default hotkey for screenshots is F10. So.........every time I used the F10/F11 combo to switch from inside to outside views I was taking a screenshot with the F10 key. DUH.....Anyway, dummy here managed to take 2970 screenshots which took up 41GB of valuable SDD space. Those suckers are now gone and never to return.

warren Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That is an interesting thing when you consider just how many times certain keys are pressed in the life time of a keyboard. The number must be staggering. Good to see you found the culprit that was pinching your disc space Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
