    I believe you off course Hillbilly, but in fact I forgot about my download experience on 1/2/2020 and today I went ahead and downloaded to C:\ and it failed because it filled the drive.

    As for why the old unzipped files caused problems on my big external D: drive I cannot explain but all was well after I deleted them.

    All my gear is Microsoft not Apple.

    The update I did in the car on 1/2/2020 was painless without the engine off but I copied and pasted what to do in case it faled from posted experiences of other people. You might have been lucky.

    Keep well.

    No luck in it. Perhaps you should do a cleanup on your C Drive like temp files, temp internet files etc

    I run a 500gb SSD and only use it for Windoze and everything else is on my 2TB D drive and backed up to a 4TB backup drive Plus a spare E Drive and I have 3 Externals.

    Regularly clean drives and run checks on Registry and broken shortcuts etc. Dont have troubles that way

    Duly noted. Yours is certainly bigger than mine My C: is only a 118gb SSD but D: is 298 and only using 10.6Gb so I don't know why it palyed up with the unzipped map files. I clean up regularly (daily) with CCleaner but I haven't done Disk Clean-ups for a while so will do.

    Do you keep your backup on one of those externals & keep offsite in your vehicle? They make good wheel chocks.

    Nope hidden in the house but where i live its fairly hard to get access to.

    Prefer to use $20 wheel chocks rather than $200 HDDS
