Try a Chkdsk. There have been cases where data after doing a Chkdsk/r, so make sure that your data is backed up on an external first.
Click to open the computer. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.
To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Click Start.
Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will be prompted, see the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.
2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.
Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).
The registry cleaner is fantastic.
In which case you can try it, here's the download link.
WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.
CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.

Hey tjhoward44,
On the drive home screen, it is at the top left an icon marked documents. Touch and you will get a list of your files. Drag the file you want to delete, from right to left. You will get to Remove the button to the right of your file. Tap this button and your file has disappeared. The list of files under the document icon are a list recently, and you can not delete the files from there.

How to remove open files recently.
How to remove open files recently.
Hey John,
Files cannot be removed from the recent tab, because it shows that the list of recently viewed files, is not the current storage destination.
If the files are present on the local disk to your iPad (on the Local tab) or cloud of Document (under the cloud of Document tab), it will be visible on the recent tab (in this case if he saw before), however if it is removed from the Local to the iPad or the Document Cloud disk it will also get deleted the recent tab.

CCleaner is a very good tool for the removal of temporary files, simply use it to remove temporary files, do not use the cleaning of recording functions. Registry cleaning is mainly a wasted effort and it causes more harm than good. You can get CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
