I recently attempted to copy 60GB of files from an Ubuntu guest to a Windows 8.1 host, but the files were actually copied to 'C:\%appdata%\Local\VMWare\...' first before being copied to D:\ (where all my VMs are saved and where I specified it should copy the files to). After it finished copying, I went into the VMware local %appdata% folder and manually deleted the folder with all the files, but the space is still taken up even though the files are 'deleted' and I'm out of 60GB on an SSD (but that's another problem). Is there a way to skip the part where it copies the files to the %appdata% folder first and just have it copy directly to D:\?
More info:
VMware is installed where it should be by default (on C:\ and in the 32-bit program files)
Everything else is on my HDD (D:\, all my files and VMs are located there)
