Dave, try searching by date and time for when you aborted the copy. As
you can imagine, shutting the computer down mid-copy leaves the
directory and it's branch/leaf structure completely hosed as regards
the copy's temp files.
Note that temp files are frequently named nothing like the file being
copied, but more like sxdsa823n12987askjdhy29838674r2ojhd.6fdswdrt67
Unfortunately, so are some log files, and temp files the finder writes
to help it keep track of what's open, hidden, deleted to trash, etc..
What I'm saying is that this could be a very difficult task, unless,
perchance, all the files are in one folder (probably a hidden one). So
make hidden files and folders viewable, and think about what you are
seeing, and where it is located on the drive.
Someone may be able to identify the temp folder that you can delete
without making a bad boo boo. (It may equal the size of the missing
gigs of storage, though it may show as 0 size just as easily)
Get back to us before you do ANYTHING! :-)
