I need to recover files I deleted everything by making a disk cleanup.

I did a disk clean up using the 'Other Options' tab.  After completed cleaning, I discovered the calculator function, the system restore and other files have been deleted.  Is it possible to restore these files?  I have Windows XP.

Hi dollimae,

There is no option to recover files deleted by the disk cleanup utility. However we recommend to check the trash to see if all the files listed there. If so, then restore them.
See the Description of the tool in Windows XP disk cleanup

    Hello

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    It may be that your hard drive is damaged, I suggest to run chkdisk\r and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. To do this, you must boot into the recovery console, and then run the command.

    a. Boot into the recovery console. Check the steps that are mentioned in the link given below.

    Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    (b) to fix the errors, look for bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, typechkdsk volume: /r, and then press ENTER.

    I suggest you return the item mentioned below.

    When you restart your computer or upgrade to Windows XP, you receive the error message "STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".

  • Disk space free (compress old files) does not change after you run Disk Cleanup.

    Original title: win. XP disk cleanup

    Win. XP: Free Disk Space (compress old files) does not change after you run Disk Cleanup.  Confused.

    Thank you. VC

    Compress your files, your computer will slow down a lot. I recommend that you don't try this.

  • NEED to recover files from the xp computer that does not start.

    I changed startup on an old xp computer programs and now it does not start (I can accidentally put driver not run at startup). blue screen; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8992528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) xp sp3 no safe mode without recovery does Center no disc. I just bought a computer to try to recover the information with win 7 but can not slave the drive to him because it is ide and the new computer is too modern. I need to save files are important on the xp computer is it possible to save them?

    I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

    -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
    -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
    -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
    -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
    -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
    -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
    -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
    -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
    -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

    It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

  • I need to recover files after a system recovery.

    Hello.  I had to perform a recovery system on my Vista operating system.  I lost all the files and programs that I had already installed.  Is there a way I can get those back? I have ProDiscover installed on my computer.  Can I use it?  Thank you.

    For any question about ProDiscover, contact their Support: http://www.techpathways.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=6&tabid=11

    Programs should always be reinstalled after a restore to the factory settings.

    If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

  • Recover files accidentally deleted after use RM - RF

    Hello. 6 days there, I'm trying to clean my trash, but an error pops up "the operation cannot be completed because the item is in use. After trying a few method, I found a solution using the: cd ~ /. Trash; rm - rf *. instead of cleaning my trash can (which is not), tht command delete all my means files.i all. with the exception of applications. Is it possible to get it back? or cancel the process? I'm using roadmap and always works right now. And im not save all the files and run only the roadmap for the last 6 days. Thank you.

    Without a backup, you will lose a bit of data. You must be very careful if you don't know exactly what you do on the command line that you discovered.

    Let the run file recovery and see what he can get it for you. The only other real option apart from another commercial file recovery program (I have no reason to believe that one is better than any other) is to turn off the machine and send it out to a professional data recovery service. Get ready for a Bill in the thousands, however, and no guarantee of recovered data.

  • computer has crashed - need to recover files

    Original title: my husbands computer crashed.  He said that the registry has been damaged.  Is there something to do to recover his files please?

    There had been problems for a few days and the computer is very slow.  The II programme has made its scheduled scan and my husband thinks that it deled some registry files, that it should not have.  I have no agreement and advised him to contact Dell for advice but decided that he could do it himself!   Anyway, he has tried to restore etc but said nothing.  He lost everything, including some files very important and is charging as much as he can.  I'm sure that there is nothing to be done, but thought I'd ask anyway.

    I'm so sorry for wasting your time.  I went on your advice to my husband that I thought he wanted to help but, true to form, he decided to do it himself.  He lost everything and had to reinstall everything, so there is nothing you can do.  I am very grateful to you for having responded.

    Hello

    "It is your only hope."

    Get the HP recovery discs isn't your only hope.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    This will be asssit you

    Ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • I have several folders on my backup drive, and I'm running out of space. Can I delete everything on my backup disk and start over?

    On my backup drive, Isee 'Doug' and 'DougXPS8300' folders and they both contain a large number of files, in addition to "backup of drive c." is redundant?  I ask because I get a messge saying that the backup with 2 TB drive memory does not have enough room for a backup.  Can I just remove ALL on my backup drive, and then tell Windows to start the backup until now, that is by replacing all loaded out there?

    If you get one of the programs that I know well, I see no reason to not just to format this drive of 2 TB and start again.  I know that you will have no problems with Ghost, and I have no reason to believe that you would not have no problem with Easus or Memeo either.

    Good luck.

    1. impossible to delete unused or temporary Internet files Program files with "Disk Cleanup".

    2 cannot run Word Office 97. Tried to delete it and then put it back, twice

    3 cannot run "restore." When I do, he wants to restore my AUDIO files!  I tried restoring the system through the optimization of PC

    4. having reinstalled Windows XP twice, with the same results

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.
