Detect a TrueCrypt Volume

Question

I think I set up a TrueCrypt volume on my Win7 machine a few months ago. Now I cannot remember where I set it up or what the password might be. Is there any way that I can detect this volume? I would have maybe gave it a capacity of 2GB or thereabouts so I don't want that storage going to waste.

If I uninstall TrueCrypt, would that release the volume assigned to it?

Answer 1

Try a disk utility that allows you to locate large files or sort files by size (such as windirstat, although there are many others). A file that's 2GB should stand out.

Answer 2

Search your disk for a file with extension tc (*.tc).

There is no volume assigned unless you assign one (a drive letter). So you can uninstall freely.
