    Deleted notepad in windows 11 Pro but still has lots of notepad.exe files


    Using Revo I uninstalled notepad.exe but still have 13 notepad.exe files in my Windows.Among all those exe file 9 are located in a path containing the string "_none_".May I delete all those files?By the way, besides the notepad related paths, still in my computer there are 30,219 objects containing the string "_none_" in their path. May I delete all those paths?Is Windows 11 Pro an enormous garbage dump?

    :)

  2. How to delete Notepad cache in Windows 11 Pro?

    My name is . I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Notepad itself does not have a cache, it is probably related to the recent files list by Windows, follow these steps and see if the problem persists.

    Open Notepad.

    Right-click on the Notepad icon in the taskbar.

    Right-click on the file you want to remove from the list.

    Select "Remove from list".

    If the file is still appearing, try clearing recent files from File Explorer;

    *Open File Explorer.

    *In the left sidebar, right-click on "Quick access."

    *Select "Options."

    *Under the "General" tab, find the "Privacy" section.

    *Click the "Clear" button next to "Clear File Explorer history."

    04sall is the name of the document that Notepad has opened. Usually Notepad is meant to open "text" or "source code" files, however it can open other types of files. Now relating back to your issue, the fact that 04sall does not have file format means
    that it used by a program or Windows, and could be quite large. This might have caused Notepad to freeze. You will have to force close Notepad, to do that please follow the following steps.

    Step 1: Press the buttons "Ctrl, alt, and delete" simultaneously. A list of options should come up. Click on Task Manager from the options that display. Note, if Task Manager is unable to open OR pressing the buttons "Ctrl, alt, and delete" simultaneously
    does not do anything, jump to Step 5.

    Step 2: In task manager select Notepad. Now click the "End Task" button. If a confirmation message comes up, then click "End Task" in the confirmation message. If Notepad closes then problem is solved. If Notepad does not close please repeat this step.
    If repeating this step after 5 times does not work, go on to Step 3.

    Step 3: Select Notepad on task manager, right click on the selected Notepad in Task Manager. A drop down menu should come up. Select "Go to Details". After doing this DO NOT click on anything yet. Go to step 4.

    Step 4: There should already be something highlighted, right click the highlighted object, a drop down menu should appear. Click "End Task" option from that menu. A prompt will come up, click the "End Process" option on the prompt. If Notepad closes then
    problem is solved. If Notepad does not close, please repeat this step. If repeating this step does not work, got to step 5.

    Step 5: Hard shutdown the computer, by pressing onto the power button. DO NOT LET GO OF the power button until the computer power indication sign has turned off. Now turn the computer back on. If the issue is gone, then problem is fixed. If "04sall-notepad"
    opens up again on startup, please reply back stating that.
