IT FREAKING SAVES EVERYTHING YOU LOOK AT.

I found that Google Earth had saved close to six Gigs of information on my computer. 25,600 files in total. I ran across it in the AppDate Section under LocalLow Google Earth. I thought it was only around one Gig until I decided to just remove the whole program and amazingly it freed up another six Gigs of space on my HD. :)

Just passing the info along to you guys if you're paranoid of people knowing where you have been on Google Earth.

I just use Google maps and street view via the browser, not Google Earth. But I'm guessing it's just caching the stuff it downloads so the next time you 'go' there the data doesn't have to be downloaded again. Maybe there is a setting you can change about storing things locally.

Don't worry though, they are also keeping tabs on all of us on their servers. :)

(I know everyone already knows that.)
