File disappeared?
I tried to download a file today from webmail/browser and hadn't realize that you had to set the file path in the preferences, so it began downloading onto the desktop. I moved the "downloading" icon into the folder where the file would go. It appeared to completely download in the Safari download menu, but gave the notice "can't be moved." I opened the folder that the file was going into, and it was still there in the download menu, but only partially downloaded. I deleted the partial download from the folder, and checked with spotlight. The file was nowhere to be found. However, I still appear to be missing harddrive space (it was a powerpoint presentation of an extremely large size). Could the file just be floating inaccessibly in my hardrive, taking up space, with no graphic representation in any folder of OS?

You didn't have to delete the partial file either. If you'd double-clicked it, Safari might have been able to start where it left off before you moved it.
