Sins is messing up my hard drive! (Issue Resolved)

I received a bizare message the other day saying my C: drive was almost full. After some investigation, I found that a sizable chuck of that partition was being used up by a folder in my "Application Data" folder called "Ironclad Games". Apparently, this was being used by Sins beta.
Now let me explain some things since there is some room for misinterpretation. I used what is probally an unusual computer setup to most of you. My C: partition was intentionally formated in Fat32 because, last time I checked, you can't use DOS to try to fix a NTFS partition. Suffice to say, given windows current disk formating system, I could only assign so much room to the C: partition so its reserved only for the operating system and related files. Any programs that does not support the OS, games for instance, is kept on other partitions. I even went so far as to assign the first partition of my second hard drive to hold the page file (makes defraging much cleaner).
Now that I've explained the general situation, I'm sure you would better understand why a 5.96 GB folder is such an issue with me. Especially considering that we can buy a 500 GB hard drive now adays.

In any case, what I would like have done about this is, I want something in options that would allow me to assign where all the random bits of data is saved to. That would make my life much easier.

MB, not gigabyte. Me + early morning or me + late evening (AKA: Only times I get to post these days) = tendency to screwup and say things I can't possibly mean.
