    Windows 7 Quickly decreasing hard drive memory

    I have downloaded some movies to a thumb drive the last couple months and notice my hard drive space is decreasing quickly even though the download is going to an exterior flash drive. Is there a temporary memory place somewhere on my hard drive storing this data? I want to delete it if so.
