    Finding stored information

    Hello All
    I am trying to find out where Ubuntu stores information from a DVD when you are making copies of it. This way it will be possible for me to delete the files after it is done copying them. I notice when I make copies that there is less hard drive space after I make a copy. I'm guessing that Ubuntu doesn't delete the information like windows does.
    Thank you for your help with this.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    This is usally configurable, but one common place is /tmp, or if you have a tmp directory in your home directory, it may be there, ~/tmp. Since I don't know which program you are using to make copies, I can't say more. Some may not make a local copy. Others may.

    Again, it usually depends upon the copying application, and in many cases that is user configurable. What application are you using to copy DVDs?
