  1. Debloater from github just deleted about a years worth of important files


    I just used a windows debloat script on powershell to make my computer run faster. The process deleted tons of important files located on my desktop.

    the files are not in the recycling bin


    the files do not show up in view hidden files.

    I’ve taken my device to a data recovery lab.


    this happened about 5 minutes before i was about to backup my data.

    any advice would be appreciated

    :)

    Get rid of Feedback Hub in favor of Github

    Microsoft recently purchased Github. Feedback Hub is kind of, well, bad in terms of features. I suggest the Feedback Hub be dissolved and the important features added to Github. Feedback should be Github Issues which are far superior for comments, editability,
    archiving, etc. Make the Feedback Hub in windows a hyperlink to Github.

    I made this an issue in the Feedback Hub, but who knows who's actually going to see it there. And that's the real issue with Feedback Hub, duplicate issues, comments are rarely left, and it's hard to get an idea of how many people are really agreeing with
    an issue or suggestion.

    Microsoft Acquires GitHub?

    Okaaaayyyy.... Maybe we should start making a list of alternatives to GitHub?

    Also, GitHub is a private company, but who owns it? Who gets money from this move?

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.
