  1. Downloads don't create a folder anymore


    Hello,


    It used to be whenever I torrented something that includes multiple files, it would automatically create a seperate folder to neatly put all these files together in one place. For some reason this has stopped, and now whenever I download something the files are scattered all over the place, which is very annoying. I have no clue why this happened but more importantly, what can I do to change it back to how it was before?

    :)

  3. topgundcp Win User
    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.
