O.P. Shocked  Huge Cache!! WTF!!?
Today on my laptop, I noticed that I suddenly only had 688 mb left on my C drive, which is on 10 gb, on that drive, only Windows, and programs is installed, so I took a look into what was taking so much space...
Check out what I found!!!
2 Pictures!
I think they kinda explains themselves...
Though I'm wondering "HOW THE HELL" did that one become so big?..
If you notice the creation date, it was created on the 3rd of november (The date is in danish so it's DD/MM/YYYY)... 2 months!
Something apparently went wrong I guess?...
Now my though is, what happens if I delete it?...
Hehe... Well.. I'll try.. :P...
I just thought you wanted to see this, since I was really shocked by this..
Though notice that the 8 gb is not the "size on disk"....
So I am kinda wondering what it's there for?...
I just did a reboot, and it's still there..
I checked my dads computer, and his same file is around 7 mb...
Someone else have seen this before?...

I had exactly the same thing on my computer, i think it was related to WLM but i could never confirm it.
I deleted it with no problems.

%Documents and Settings%\%Username%\Aplication Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\%Messenger user id%\SharingMetaData\Working

%Documents and Settings% - Usually C:\Documents and Settings
%Username% - Your windows username
%Messenger user id - You can calculate this using the tool inCholi's reply to msn6 user id thingy

If that doesn't work then try this:
%Documents and Settings%\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\&e-mailadress%\SharingMetadata\Working

That's where it's located at my computer

It can also be located here:

%Documents and Settings%\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\%user_id%\SharingMetadata\Working

Yeah don't worry, its a WLM bug and its been reported on connect. Its only taking up around about 18MB on your HDD so disgard the whole 8gig thing ;). It will be fixed in the next version of WLM hopefully :)
