Windows 10: Please advise me before I delete something important

Hey, so I’ve upgraded several components lately and want to do a clean reinstall of windows. I have 4 drives in my system: C: for the os and general programs (it’s a small ssd so it filled up pretty quick.) D: for overflow programs and documents etc from C: M: for movies and tv shows. And G: for all my games

I want to get to where all my programs are all on D: and the only thing on C: is the OS. I’m cleaning out D: and C: right now getting ready to wipe and reinstall, but I’m worried about deleting something I shouldn’t by mistake. Or does anything need to stay there with the OS instead of being on a separate drive? Please advise

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

 

Importing photos

Hi Susie,

Is the phone not recognized or is it not importing the pictures automatically?

Is Nokia PC suite installed in your PC? Is that not recognizing the phone as well?

I would suggest you to open device manager and check if the device is listed in the device manager. Right click on the start button and click on Device manager. Check if the device is listed there . If it is listed, right click on the entry and click update
driver. If the device is not listed, check if the device is listed under other categories. I would also suggest you to click on the 'View' menu button and click on "show hidden devices' and check if you find any entries related to your phone. Try these steps
and let us know the results for further assistance.
