Les récentes mise à jour effectué sur mon poste ont effacé de façon délibéré toutes mes fichiers y compris tt le contenu de mon dossier windows old. Que faire pour retrouver mes fichiers perdus.

I had to downgrade to Win 10. Unexpectedly, there was a massive Windows.Old directory created, and it's proving difficult to delete all of it. Although this is my own home PC and I'm the sole user, when I try to delete certain directories or files, I get Access Denied - you need to provide...

I want to remove the Windows.old file. I want to get rid of it before I make my System Image of the C:\ drive. It's 27.4 Gigabytes, and I'd like to not have to back it up. I don't need it, I have a System Image of the old drive already. I used to do it with Cleaner, but it doesn't show it as a...

My father has Windows 8.1 and today he calls me for the has "changed". Turns out, somehow the Refresh feature was executed. Now some settings and files are missing, and all the apps were unistalled (including TeamViewer, so you can imagine the joy of fixing this over a phone...) There is a...

Apparently, a windows.old folder was created last night at around 11pm (I had no idea). I noticed I have increased HDD activity, and I was wondering why's that. Then windows said my boot disk space is running low, so I went to 'My Computer' and noticed a large chunk of my second HDD space is...

I just installed window 10 on my PC and now I don't like it. I remember I left my former window 7 in the window old file. Is there anyway I can restore my PC to my former window 7 using the window old? I don't want to loose my files.

Hi I was surprised that CCleaner popped up saying that I had a lot of material to remove since I had run it last night. A quick check showed that I had a new "Windows.Old" folder. I went to Windows update and sure enough version 10162 was ready to install. I never realised that it created the...

Hi This was a real battle but after an hour of struggle I finally did it. I needed to get rid of it because I only allotted 100 Gb for my Windows 10 drives and the Windows.old folder was using 17 of it, leaving only a small amount of free space. I usually just log into Ubuntu and remove...

So, after a shortage, Windows decided that it would simply not start anymore. So I did the Refresh option it gave me because the option said that it would try to keep as much as possible (the other option was Reset which said it would do exactly that, reset everything). Now, the only thing it...

Hi, Yesterday my antivirus started popping up with a virus/trojan Trojan.Win32.Hosts2.gen. I have a few windows.old from new installs, and this thing is traveling from those installs to the current one, zonealarm treats it but then it comes back. I ran spybot hoping it was some kind of...

While attempting to set up for dual-booting with Linux, I used a free program that apparently messed up my Win7 MBR or structure of my sectors. I panicked because I couldn't see anything on the disk after that. I concluded in despair that everything was lost so I got a Win7 disk from a friend...

Ok so my computer was getting this BSOD when I tried turning it on, so it wouldn't turn on so I reinstalled Windows 7 on my computer, and now everything looks weird. My screen resolution seems off, and appearently my GFX card isn't "good" for some programs which it was perfectly fine before...

Hello all. I suppose I'd best start from the beginning, when I moved installed Windows 8 Release Preview onto the second hard drive on my build, duplicated files onto it, and left 7 on my WD drive(in case 8 didn't work out) About a week later, trouble struck. The WD drive started to make...

Hey all. I just reinstalled windows 7(32bit) and my windows.old file, which doesn't contain anything in it except for empty folders, still has size to it. Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Never had this happen to me. The show hidden files/folders option is ticked and still shows...

I had to do a re-install today with Windows 7. After the re-install it set up a drive labeled "System K" and I also have a folder called "Windows old". Now I did have back up disc that I made in June that I used after the re-install. That gave me back about 97% of my important info for my apps...
