Locate deleted files

Recently, my computer upgraded to windows 10 on its own and I noticed that my files are missing. I looked online to recover my files and succeeded in a first time. I moved everything to my office in a folder so that I could access my missing files. Today, when I turned on my computer, I noticed that all my files are gone. I looked up seems to work as to where my files went online again and nothing. I listened to one of my friends who knows stuff about computers and he said to go back to windows 7. I was following his advice but my files are still not where. I know they are somewhere on my computer because it says that I have 574GB I 495 GB available. I'm a little stressed that all my recent work of the school is now gone. If someone could please help me I would be frankly very happy. I for some reason some can't find any of my missing files. Please help :(

Well, here's a scenario that happened:

  1. Upgrade to windows 10 and there was a problem with your user account.
  2. As there was a problem with your user account, windows created a temporary account that is new to you so that you can connect to your computer. Your w7 to w10 files were not migrated because it was a temporary account.
  3. As it was a new account you do not find your files. If you found them in windows.old and moved to this temporary account.
  4. When your old account was set up through windows, he removed the temporary - accountwith your files, and you have been signed in the back with your old account.

Well, see if you have backups as a System Image.If you do not, you could try this file recovery software and check if this is useful:

Recuva: The tool of free data recovery - Piriform

Otherwise, I don't think that there is a way to get out of there.

  • Deleted files are located in the search

    I deleted files of documents to a certain location on my computer. Well, after a few days, I find the file deleted by name, and I have seen a miracle, the files are exist in my pc but I can't open those. who are only image. How can I delete a file or folder without images or shortcuts?

    This is probably because deleted files are still in the search Index - this is how it works under Vista.  Try to rebuild the search Index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/.  Wait until she finishes (it may take a while) and then try the search for files deleted - they will show no doubt is no longer.

  • System restore recover deleted files?

    System restore do not know or care about your personal files.

    If you accidentally delete a file, and it is not recoverable from the Recycle Bin, there are third party tools that you can watch to see if they can recover your lost files.  In general data from the 'deleted' files remain on the hard drive until the premises they occupy is needed for something else, while the space where your deleted file is crashed.

    Keep in mind that you "use" your disk and read/write data, less your chances of file recovery will be since XP can decide to use this area of the disk where the deleted file is.  So, if you delete something by mistake, you should try to recover as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Some people have good result with this free tool (you can use Google to find others):

    Recuva

    If you want to try it out, install it, make a few temporary files or copy some files somewhere in another folder/location and remove the temporary or copied files on purpose.

    Then see if Recuva will get it for you.

    If you don't like it, uninstall it.  Sometimes I install just to recovery a file (s), then uninstall it when I'm done.

  • Without going into the file to delete files

    When I delete the files in the box as they are supposed to go in the folder to be deleted, but since 04/10/13 I can't consult one of these deleted files.

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    With OE closed, find the DBX file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
     
     
    General precautions for Outlook Express:
     
    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
     
    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

  • Tried to delete files on the desktop, but it showed "Item not found"!

    I wanted to delete files on my desk. But he showed "Item not found", ask me to locate the file. But I searched the entire computer, the file is no longer exist. But he was still showing on the desktop!

    What can I do to remove them? Because they are really boring!

    Are you sure that it is a folder on your desktop and not just a shortcut (a link to the actual file)?  The actual file can be located elsewhere.

    Check C:\Users\\Desktop, and see if the files are there.  If so, try removing them from there (instead of from the desktop).  It shouldn't make a difference, but it might work.

    Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder (from two places).  Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php of files (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/) or Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    Search for files in Vista is quite different that it was with XP.  To search for a file with a normal search in Vista, it should be in the index files or types of files - otherwise it will not come to the top.  You CAN get to get to a FULL player search.  To search for the folder C: whole disk in Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, this isn't a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but it is how it is done in Vista.  Once you find the file, try to remove normally and if it does not then try to use both products above to see if you have a better chance.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Delete files in Windows 7

    Cannot delete certain files/folders with Windows 7, cannot move permissions to TrustedInstaller to administrator, any ideas.

    So, please answer the question: what is a simple way for us to delete files protected in W7?

    Hi Bob

    The system files in Windows 7 is much more complex than previous versions of Windows.

    There are a lot of files/folders that if they are deleted could render the system unusable.

    It would be completely irresponsible automatically assume that any user is an advanced expert and he understands the consequences of deleting a critical file or folder. That's why we need to know the name and the location of the files/folders involved before posting any information on the withdrawal of their.

    With W7, I can't install IE9 on the laptop from a friend, because IE8 files in the system that I can't "Uninstall" for a reason; It does not appear on the list of the programs and features Control Panel to uninstall.

    For your problem with IE8, please ask your question in the following forum.

  • Cannot delete file in windows Media Player

    I can delete video files from Windows Media Player. I think that I deleted them before somehow but standard photos (balloon, balloons) always appear in video library for all deleted files and try right-click and delete is not remove them from the library. There is no error message when you try to remove them and when you try to play them you get Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. I don't want to play the file I want to just delete it.

    You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.

  • Cannot delete files to the trash (Recycle Bin access denied)

    System: Windows 7 Ent SP1 x 64, i7 930, 24GO RAM with all updates

    When I try to delete files in Windows Explorer, I get the following error (most of the time, but not always):

    Window with the title 'Recycle Bin access denied' and the message

    " cannot be moved to the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? »

    I can then permanently delete the file, even if I sent to the trash.

    I tried the following (nothing works):

    -checked to see if the file is locked with Process Explorer (find handle or DLL)-it is not (and it can be removed permanently)

    -deleted all the recycle bins on all drives & restarted. New recycling bins have been created, but it did not help.

    -changed of owner of baskets and all files as (with the takeown command). Corrupt system baskets complained, emptied their and restored to their previous state. This did not help the primary problem.

    -set the maximum size to the size of the disk on all baskets. It has no effect on the main problem.

    -J' also checked the security for the folders tab $RECYCLE. BIN on all readers and define "Full control" for users. SYSTEM and administrators had already 'Full comtrol. This did not help also.

    What is strange (and new), is when I open the Recycle Bin, the files are always considered to be "Tiles" (which I did not). If I put it in 'Détails', the change is not permanent - the next time I open the Recycle Bin, the files are showed once again as "Tiles".

    What can I do to be able to delete (all) files via the Recycle Bin?

    Thanks Mike for the response, but none of the methods helped. There was no malware and even in safe mode, I could not delete files to the Recycle Bin. In addition, the original administrator account could not delete to the Recycle Bin.

    But I think I found the culprit:

    Apparently, this problem showed that in the downloads folder, to which I had many junctions (to be easily accessible). Due to lack of space on the C: drive, I remembered that I have moved through properties-> location on a disk with more space. Instead of the old folder in C:\Users\ downloads I put a junction pointing to the new location.

    Now, I had old junctions pointing to C:\Users\personal, which in turn was a junction pointing to a new location. Registration/creation/look at one/etc files in folder downloads accessible through 2 junctions was of course OK, but delete somehow was not able to delete files to the Recycle Bin. When I fixed the remaining junctions to point directly to the new location of the download folder, delete started working OK again.

    Summary:

    Delete the file (SHFileOperation?) is not able to use the trash, if the file is accessible via junction 2 points (or more?).
