    accidentally permanently deleted a folder full of important videos, I immediately ran...


    I had a folder under "network" on my windows 10 pc (SSD). Files deleted here won't go to the recycle bin and just get permanently deleted. I made a mistake and deleted an entire folder. I had some very important video files in this folder. I immediately ran recuva and the recovered files are unplayable. I'm not sure what software to try next. I shut down the pc until I get a plan going. Any advice?

    Accidentally Deleted Some Folders

    Yesterday I was cleaning my PC and I accidentally deleted two folders (named "NVIDIA" and "NVIDIA Corporation") in C:\ProgramData. To my knowledge this two folders only contain non important stuff like logs, etc. Later on I have found out my Program Settings in NV Control panel were set to default. This is no big deal, but now I'm worrying I fu***d something up. Otherwise, everything works as it should --> no overheating, BSODs, games are working normally...

    I just want to know what I deleted. Were those two folders important???

    Accidentally Deleted Some Folders

    While Im not sure of how important they are, I think System restore would put them back and I see they are pretty darn big too 6.5mb and 2.5 GB on my just freshly imaged laptop .
