  1. Help! How can I automatically hide .bak files?


    Hello! So even since I use this computer with Windows 10 I have this "problem" where I can see all the .bak files, and I have to hide them manually. This happens with .doc, .xls and .html files.

    I use FreeOffice, I don't know if that has anything to do with this. (When I had Microsoft Office in another computer this didn't happen).

    Windows 10 .bak file extensions not showing

    Hi Tom,

    The .bak file is a file extension of the backup files. To delete the unwanted backup files, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key. Type backup, then select
      Backup and Restore (Windows 7).
    • Under Back up or restore your files, click Manage space.
    • Under Manage Windows Backup disk space, you will see the
      Backup location
      .
    • Under Data file backup, click View backups.
    • Under Select a back period to delete, choose the backups you want to delete.

    Note: You have an option to delete the earlier system image to save a disk space. To do so, check the following steps:

    • Go back to the Manage Windows Backup disk space window.
    • Under System image, click Change settings.
    • Under Select how Windows retains older system images, choose from the 2 options.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.
