    Curiosity about the Hidden AppData


    I have a question regarding AppData. I downloaded an app in my D drive games but it told me that the AppData is located in my C drive. Now I'm wondering why does it go in my C Drive if the app that I downloaded is in my D drive? Will it complicate stuff?

    I'm just curious.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you with it.

    I suggest you to refer the following Microsoft help article to about AppData folder.

    What is the AppData folder?

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-appdata-folder

    Note: This link is also applicable to Windows 10 as well.

    I suggest you to perform System Restore on your computer and check if you are able to get back the AppData folder.



    System Restore brings a system to an operable condition after a disaster so that it can again accept and process data.



    To perform System Restore follow the step provided below.



    • Press Windows Key + R Key
    • Type rstrui and press Enter.


    Hope this resolves your issue. Do let us know if it helped. For further assistance, feel free to contact us.

    Curiosity about the Hidden AppData

    Misplaced hidden library folders in Documents folder?

    I've never used/enabled File History.. have you?

    That they are so hidden should make them more a matter of curiosity than something to worry about, I suggest.
