  3. Recovering Lost Files

    Hi, Shaun.

    Thank you for posting in Community. I understand your concern and we will try to assist you in the best way we can.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information below:

    Can you find the files now, if you go to windows.old?

    I would suggest that you perform Power Drain and check you can find the files and folder that you have lost. To do so follow the steps below:

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

    If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidently modified or deleted a file, you can restore it from a backup (if you're using Windows backup) or you can try to restore it from a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files
    and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. Previous versions are sometimes referred to as shadow copies.

    Hope this information helps.
