When you are on yahoo messenger and do picture sharing, does it save the files on your computer somewhere?

Question

If so how do you get rid of them? I had somebody send me nude pictures of them unexpectedly that could get me in some serious trouble. I only saw them in messenger. didn't click on them to open them up in a bigger window or something. Closed them immediately! Please help!

Answer 1

If you didn't click to accept the file then they shouldn't have been saved. However, the usual place for saving files sent through messenger is the "my documents" folder in "documents and settings".

If you're really worried try running a search for picture files.

Answer 2

There is no problem because you did not save those nasty things to your computer.  It is still in there somewhere, but unless you run a program like recova, you will never see it again.  Double check documents and also under your name in the start menu to make sure.  Look under pictures.  I think you are safe.  You are wise to be concerned.
