  1. File disappear accidentally


    Hi guys,


    I just occurred a massive file deletion and I don't know what the heck to do with Windows anymore. I'm using Win 10, not sure which version it is.


    I captured photos from a video and saved them continuously to a new folder I created on the way. I was saving the 150th photo then this**** happened. I opened the folder to check the photos and accidentally deleted one. I pressed Ctrl + Z to undelete it but somehow I got thrown back to the bigger folder I think I pressed it twice, which means the Ctrl + Z I just typed was for the folder I was working on. Basically Windows understood it as undo the creation of the folder, and when I redo the action redo the folder creation,a "New Folder" appeared with no files in it???


    Ahhh I was so shock. I didn't expect this situation would happen. I tried searching for the disappeared files in the bin but there was none. This was like100x worse than deleting a file out of will. Deleted files can be found in recycle bin, then where do the existing files in an undone folder go? There has to be a solution to this ASAP. My files were not that hard to remake so I did it manually anyway, but there are other people with super important files and Windows just let this slip through their hands?


    Please develop useful feature like keep every existing file in restoration, not just the files that are literally deleted. Honestly, the percentage of wanting to restore a manually "deleted" file is lower than an accidentally "disappeared" file. Literally.


    Nice job Windows.

    :)

  3. Downloaded files disappear


    When you download a file through any browser, there's an option somewhere to 'Open Containing Folder.'

    In Windows, to find a file you have downloaded...

    1. Open your personal folder by clicking the Start button and then clicking your user name at the top of the Start menu's right pane.
    2. Double-click one of the following folders:
      • Downloads
      • Documents
      • Pictures
      • Videos
      • Music


    If you do not see the file you are looking for, but know its file name, you can search for it by following these steps:
    To search for a file you have downloaded...

    1. Click the Start button
    2. Type all or part of the file name into the Search box.
      The file you are looking for will appear in the list of results.
