So I downloaded the demo in Internet Explorer to give the game a try. Downloaded the zip to my desktop, extracted the files, and deleted both the zip and uncompressed portion after installing the game. Also cleared the temporary internet files.

After I completed the demo, I uninstalled it and ultimately ended up with 3GB less space on my hard drive than I began with. What happened?

I guess it could be in the temp folder from the install?

You mean temporary internet files? I cleared that. Anything else I could have missed?

No, I mean the temp folder which is located in C:\Documents and Settings folder\<username>\Local Settings\Temp

The Local Settings folder is invisible so you have to make sure you can view those.
