    I don't remember exactly what I deleted, but I think I accidentally deleted C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\* and then restored them from Recycle Bin...Did I screw something up ? Any way to make sure things work properly ?

  2. accidentally deleted system files windows 10

    While uninstalling a program, I might have accidentally deleted some other windows system file too.

    -> It is not possible to delete Windows system files "accidentally". Windows won't let you. You must take several steps before you can do this. Uninstalling does not even give you the option to delete any files. The
    process is fully automatic.

    The question now is: How exactly did you perform this uninstallation process? Which files or folders did you delete?

    About drive letter X: - you are in Windows Repair Mode. Drive X: is a virtual drive that disappears the moment you leave this mode.

    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.
