After letting a cube process run 36 hours, I received message about low disk
space. I ended up using Task Manager to stop the process.

First, yes I do have an issue with such a long process (have had the
partition process in < 6 hours in the past) and was trying various
suggestions posted to get the cube built. Next I am going to try recreating
cube from scratch.

But first, I need my 9GB back! Some temp file(s) somewhere must be eating
up space that didn't clear when I crashed the process. But I can't for the
life of me find it/them. Can anyone help me find my space?

Right click on your server in Analysis Manager and check the properties.
In the general tab there will be a property for the temporary file
folder. This is where your temp files will be sitting. I think by
default this is the same as data directory.

If you are going to reprocess the database from scratch anyway, you
could stop the Analysis Services service and delete the entire database
folder from the data folder and then restart the service.

Thanks, issue was that the two .tmp files were displaying in Windows as 0
bytes so I wasn't "finding" them -- I was looking for big file! I
inadvertently discovered the file when looking at a defrag report.
Thanks.
