Locating files on laptop from work #4474

Closed theguven closed 1 year ago

theguven commented 1 year ago

Hi, I have a small problem.

I downloaded my instagram photos as a backup, using gallery-dl on my worklaptop. I was not able to focus so I thought I'd do this as a distraction but now it seems I cannot find any of the files on the laptop!

After searching the net, I found out that everything is downloaded to "C:\Users\Admin\gallery-dl, but as this is my worklaptop, I don't have admin rights. And I cannot seem to find the gallery-dl folder in my own account nor via a search in File Explorer! The files were downloaded though.

Any tips? And can I forcefully remove the downloaded files using python?

Hope you can help out! Thanks in advance!

The default download location is inside the current working directory, i.e. in the directory cmd.exe starts at (usually C:\Users\USERNAME\gallery-dl)

You're a lifesaver! On my worklaptop it seems to be M:\

Opening cmd definitely helped 💪

You can close an issue yourself if you're the one who opened it.
