«Go back to the factory default» deletes all documents and data personal?

I'm selling my laptop, so return to the factory default. Someone can always retrieve driver information? Thank you.

Moved to virus & malware

Original title: Is 'back to factory default' totally Virgin pilot?

Sorry I misread your message. As says factory setting puts your computer in the State in which it was when it left the factory. However, a person determined using equipment may be able to retrieve the information you make refers to.  There is a software that allows to avoid this.  For example, CCleaner has a facility that erase the drive.  But again this is not a 100% solution. The only 100% is to destroy the hard drive.  Having said all that I don't worry about this unless you have sensitive information on your computer, or there is very incriminating information stored on your computer.

PS: If you think about it, you will understand that when you delete something on your computer you are not really delete, everything you do delete the index.  The information remains until it is crushed and even in this case, certain information may be recoverable.

  • Brought back to the factory lost Ms one note

    Recently, I came across a player called Q on my computer and it couldn't access the drive, I followed some advice on an online form, nothing will do. One post suggested I back up my computer and bring back the computer as long as the plant. I hesitated because I couldn't afford to lose my computer. I backed up my computer on a Transcend 500 GB hard drive. For some reason when the computer a setback for my HD Transcend factory has been unable to bring the majority of my computer and only recovered back some documents and photos, lost all my docs in a single note and not really why. I talked to a guy at the shop where I bought my computer and told me once he goes back to the factory that went but I am convinced that it is recoverable, but for some reason, I was told, they are unable to do this and my only notes have disappeared. For some reason, they were unable to start off my Transcend hard disk and my a note was not accessible. So I am completely screwed out of everything I have in a note from Microsoft now? Transcend seems pretty useless after that because he created everything in a backup on the hard disk, but does not allow access to recover this. I was told to buy Norton Ghost, this operation can take a picture of the system, but Transcend image is inaccessible for any reason system.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 64 bit

    A reader of Q is used by Office click to launch products, generally Office Starter and partition, Q, is not accessible to the end user.

    His is not entirely clear if you have saved by using windows backup or if you have used a Transcend utility and how to recover your data depends on what use you to save in the first place

    Norton Ghost are any other imaging utility won't help recover your data

    Once a PC is restored to factory state you lost everything that was originally on the PC, although if the recovery created a windows.old folder, you will be able to recover your data originally saved in the default location for Documents

  • Documents and data with all the storage on iPhone

    A few days ago I tried to send an email with a large attachment. However, it has not been send so I deleted my account from my iPhone. Once I did, I got a message saying that almost all of my storage has been exhausted. I checked to see and I have about 5 GB of available 64 GB. I connected my iPhone to my computer to check which took all this space and 45 GB of my space is being taken up by the Documents and data. I deleted the old messages, imported pictures to my computer and erased, erase my history on safari, check on iCloud, and allows to remove most of my apps that I have read that the removing applications and later re - download. I've also updated to iOS 9.3. It helped very little. Documents and data is now only 43 GB instead of 45 GB. Before that happened, I got about 50 GB of free and now I just 5 GB free after it happened.

    What else can I do to clear more of Documents and data? Should I restore my iPhone to one of the backups that I recorded? Should I take my iPhone at the Apple Store because it happened so suddenly and randomly?

    On the phone, go to settings App > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in STORAGE). Who will provide a list of what applications use data and in what quantity. Tapping on the app with you give the amount of data, the application contains (less himself) and in most cases the ability to delete the application, if you wish. You will not necessarily have to delete the app.

    Once you have completed all the actions, try a forced reboot: hold down the House and on the buttons until the unit turns off. Ignore the cursor off if it appears. Once completed, if it does not start on it own, turn off power with the key On. In some cases, it also contributes to double click the Home button and close all applications before restarting.

    Also, actually iTunes sync erases some of this possibility.

    One last thing, if you have installed whatsapp, there is a known problem cases that it runs in fairly large amount of data storage.

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

    PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

    Good luck

    Don't know if you've discovered this done yet for you, but I would say it is your usb flash drive. It happens when he is out BEFORE you used the 'Safely remove' icon on the taskbar.

    If it is, then you must copy any information on the USB key to another location and format the USB. Then you can copy the info on it and you're right to go!

    This will continue to happen sometimes even though you have the properties/policies defined in a quick deletion. I got mine the value of the radio button performance and ALWAYS use the icon REMOVE safe in your taskbar. Once you find that your data will be corrupted if is not removed properly, even if the ssd is supposed to be "hot." If you have a usb key that has a light on it, wait for the light to STOP BLINKING before removing it. If you do not have a light on this issue, it is always advisable to wait a second or two after the popup window say you that it is save to remove your USB.

  • Delete all groups and layers that are turned off, even if they are locked

    Hello

    I need help with a script that will do the following:

    Delete all groups (including the layers inside) and layers so they are not visible - with the following requirements

    a. even if the group or layer is locked

    (b) even if the layers within the group are locked

    c. same layers within the group are visible, although the parent group is off

    Then... the required logic would be

    Is it group or layer turns off? Yes, then delete all independently of any other thing, OTHERWISE move on to the next layer/group

    Basically, I have a lot of groups and layers here and I want to analyze the layers to leave just the layers that are visible in the final document. Visible merge or flatten the will does not work as I want to keep visible and visible layers. Layers remove hidden does not work. And file/scripts/deleting empty layers does not work because the layers are not empty. They are simply not necessary.

    In collaboration with CS6.

    Thank you

    The other is round, but this should unlock all layers, after that delete hidden layers should work.

  • How can I reduce the GB "documents and data" as stated on my sync?

    When I sync, I show 35 GB of "Documents and Data.  I'm almost at full capacity on Iphone 64 GB.

    To try to find "documents and data", I removed all Sync Photos, deleted the pictures in "Camera roll", removed the check mark on "synchronize books", (even if not), deleted all the 'music' of sync.

    I'm still 35 GB of "documents and data!

    I removed some rarely used applications.

    I went to settings icloud and removed what little I could find.

    I used the setting app and reviewed the storage on the iphone, I don't see anything extraordinary.

    I feel like there is something in the background, I can't find a job.

    When DandD or other who get big there is usually a damaged system or approx. to isolate the individual application is difficult. Try to do a restore from backup in iTunes. If that doesn't help, try a restore as New. Unfortunately, a restore as new is a pain like all settings and applications will need to be configured from scratch.
