    I was going through my one drive folder , which was around 20gb and I thought, you know I need to get some of these backed up folders off here that I don't want backed up. So I deleted a few of them , no biggie, then I deleted the one that said my documents, and **** it deleted my actual my documents folder, which couldn't be recovered from the recycle bin. what is this demonic ****? I hate one drive now

    My Documents Files - Deleted?

    For some reason all the files apart from My Games/Crysis Wars have been somehow deleted without my doing. Strangely, I went to play Crysis Wars the other day and my profiles were gone, thinking nothing of it I proceded to reset them up. Also strangely, I did not install any games folders in My Documents, somehow the folders Games/Crysis Wars just appeared, when, I really don't know. I have install my OS on a seperate hard drive and My Documents as well as every other folder used as storage is linked to another seperate HDD. Tried a system restore, still no good, why? Has Crysis somehow deleted/corrupted this folder? confused:
