So I decided to do some cleaning in my PC. But one thing that has been bothering me a long time and was afraid to delete them, are some folders with long names containing random numbers and letters on my Local Disk. Examples: 0e42926df47d3dd246932dc8c69d1c 92b0cc202300988ef32292...

Recently noticed my C: drive had almost maxed out (47 GB free of 457 GB). Knowing this wasn't right I did a quick total of all the files which came out at about 250 GB. I then went back and carefully checked each folder and file and still came up with 250GB. Then I downloaded an analytical...

I inadvertently saved a file to the wrong folder. When I did that the new file replaced the document of the same name in the folder that was still active on my save button. Is there anyway I can restore that file? Please advise Thank you

I have just installed the fall creator update and all seems fine. I also made a flash drive for a clean installation if needed. My question is, How long should I not remove the disc cleanup system files because I want to create an image that does not contain all those files.

It seems to me that the well known command sfc /scannow ..... appends all logmessages to a possibly already existing CBS.LOG file rather than create a new logfile. Is this correct? So if I want to have a fresh logfile just with the results from the last sfc run I have to manually delete the...

Hello: I am trying to sell a computer to someone else, and want to more or less sanitize my personal info from the computer. I secure-deleted the files with sensitive info, uninstalled my financial software, and then ran a program like Eraser that claimed to effectively wipe all free space. I...

To keep the story short (and avoid embarrassment to myself)... I have a file (.exe) to which everyone supposedly has full permissions, except that with explorer I cannot delete it, copy it, or move it. I can take ownership of it, but the same situation still exists. I **know** (because there...

''It now seems there is a modern alternative to the Disk Cleanup program that deals with all of the files that take up space on our devices and can be safely removed. I suspect the day is coming in a future feature update for Windows 10, maybe even Redstone 3 that is due this fall, that Disk...
