  1. Hidden Memory Being Used


    My HD is being consumed by Apps & features, it is using 433 GB out of 460 GB total, but I might only have 30 GB worth of applications,I've read the space is used by hidden files recovery & shadow copies, I have tried Disk Cleanup with the more option/System Restore and Shadow Copies tab/option, Storage sense, and a couple of tools, all of them only delete a minimal portion of useless files, but never take care of the issue. Is there any way to fix this problem to find hidden files or hidden features etc that I could delete that I don't need in order to clear this problem.It

  2. How to recover hidden files and folders from memory card.

    Well, you can recover hidden files from the memory card by trying the command prompt option.
    For this, you need to follow the below steps:

    • First, connect your SD card with PC using the card reader
    • After this, press the Windows + X keys to bring up a dialogue and then click on the Command Prompt (Admin)
    • Now, type the command attrib -h -r -s /s /d G:\*.*(replace G: with the drive letter for your memory card).
    After finishing these steps you have to go to your memory card to check if you can view all of the hidden files.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages

  4. Hidden Memory Being Used

    All hidden files turned Un-hidden

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I suggest you to re-add them to the hidden items list and check.

    Steps:

    • Right click on the folders to hide, select Properties.
    • Go to General tab, under Attributes check mark the option
      Hidden.
    • Click on Apply and on Ok.

    I suggest you not to use any third party anti-virus software. Try to use Windows Defender.

    Refer: Using Windows Defender

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance on Windows Operating System, we will be happy to help you.
