    Deleteing a file


    So recently I've been using Malwarebytes and it keeps saying something to do with Microsoft edge is a PUP which is concerning and despite "Quarantining" the file it still appears later that day so I was gonna delete the entire folder it comes from which is called Microsoft but it holds a lot of stuff inside of it and I don't want to delete anything which could break my PC so is there anything that can cause it to show up as a PUP or if not can I delete the Microsoft file?

    :)

    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.

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
