    Deleted everything in OS C: drive


    HiI accidentally cleaned my disk with the OS and recovery partitions on it installing Windows 10 from a USB. I was trying to create a new partition for it to be installed on, and wiped “Disk 0” clean instead of “Disk 1”, which was the USB flash drive. I am trying to recover the OS drive, as there are many important files on it, but I can’t seem to find a solution. I don’t want to reinstall Windows because I won’t be able to recover my lost files, and I cannot spend money on software that can help me recover my OS drive.Is there any way that I can resolve this issue and restore the drive I acci

    :)

    That reduced System Volume Information to 662 KB, left $GetCurrent at 3.8 GB which is called media when clicking the little arrow. Storage sense or Disk cleanup gave no reference to $GetCurrent, and the [2 files] are pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys.

    I will thank everyone and mark this thread as solved, I now have over 27 GB of free space on my C: drive, it must just slowly get down to size where Windows warned me with a red "flag" when viewing This PC.
