Windows 10: Can't find files in HDD after update

when I upgraded to windows ten I selected keep nothing when it asked me what files I wanted to keep thing it would delete all the junk I don't need on my pc, but after the upgrade my HDD was just as full as it was before. so I tried to manually delete stuff but now when I look through my cdrive I says all the file are empty except for the windows one. When I look to see how much room I left no my hard drive it says one out of two TB is full but I cant find what's taking up that 1 TB anywhere

:)

 

Windows fails to start after update, fails to repair, failed to reset

Windows failed to boot after restarting from an update a few days ago.

• I went into recovery and tried to use a restore point, which works but fixes nothing.
  
• I created a flash drive and tried the same thing off the computer hdd and again nothing.
  
• Ran sfc and chkdsk commands, all of which did nothing.
• I ran the start up repair as well which waits 10 seconds and says it can't be repaired.
• I ran reset and keep files, which fails immediately
• I went to console and copied out all of my important files from the C drive
• I ran reset and delete files which ran for about 20 seconds and failed
• After running the reset it now fails to find C. It can't load the on disk recovery, can't find the boot media, or even see the disk in diskpart ran from the usb.
  

Basically, windows recovery just bricked my hdd, is there any way to fix that or am I just screwed now?

 

My files didn't show in Explorer

I copied my files from my external hdd to my PC. After copying finished, I can't find my files in Explorer. I changed the setting to show hidden files and tried use attrib /s /d -s -h command but I still can't find them. I checked my drive using Defraggler
and I see my files there, but almost all of my files changed into ~filename~.~extension~.zone.identifier. Most of my files are not downloaded from internet. I tried to recover using recovery apps but i can't open the recovered files.

Please help me, all my work is there

 

Upgrading is not going to get rid of applications had on previous operating system unless there incompatible would let you know during the process. Saying keep nothing is basically talking about settings, certain apps and files. Need to do a clean install to get rid of this.

Not sure if i understand this part
" when I look through my cdrive I says all the file are empty except for the windows one "

Can get rid of backup folder from upgrade to save space, need to know more on this first. Plus have 30 days before can roll back mattering to i believe on day you upgraded.

Yes good program if your looking to find what is taking disc space. Your welcome, assume any other issues with Upgrade are good.
