ZoomIt Recordings
In the course of teaching programming, I often use the SysInternals program called Zoomit. Sometimes, I accidentally turn on the recording feature, and I don’t know it’s running. When that happens, it can create a file that is hundreds of gigabytes in size, right up to the point where it uses up all your drive space! Here’s what to do when that happens.
Where are Zoomit Recordings Stored?
Section titled “Where are Zoomit Recordings Stored?”Let’s get to the heart of the matter. Googling for this information is often fruitless. Even ChatGPT 5 couldn’t find the answer (and it searches everywhere)!
Zoomit recordings can be found in the C:\Users\[Your-User-Name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Zoomit\ folder. I just looked today after a pop-up said that my Zoomit recording stopped because I ran out of disk space. I didn’t even realize it was recording!!!
So, in the spirit of saving myself time searching this information, I thought I should make a quick blog post. Maybe even ChatGPT will find this information and share with others (giving me proper attribute, of course).
