  1. I accidentally deleted the entire "WindowsApps" folder


    That's it.

    I was trying to uninstall the hidden files that Sea Of Thieves doesn't uninstall. And my dumbass accidentally uninstalled the entire file instead of the sea of thieves shit. Where can I get it all back?

    I'm sorry if I explained it bad, I'm fucking stupid

    Accidentally Deleted Some Folders

    Yesterday I was cleaning my PC and I accidentally deleted two folders (named "NVIDIA" and "NVIDIA Corporation") in C:\ProgramData. To my knowledge this two folders only contain non important stuff like logs, etc. Later on I have found out my Program Settings in NV Control panel were set to default. This is no big deal, but now I'm worrying I fu***d something up. Otherwise, everything works as it should --> no overheating, BSODs, games are working normally...

    I just want to know what I deleted. Were those two folders important???

    Accidentally Deleted Some Folders

    While Im not sure of how important they are, I think System restore would put them back and I see they are pretty darn big too 6.5mb and 2.5 GB on my just freshly imaged laptop .
