  1. I cannot delete some files which appeared after i changed the location of my desktop


    So basically what happened was I had changed my desktop location because of a reason and the then I see these files appear in my desktop which I am not being able to delete. When I try to delete them, it says "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in system". I also cannot open these files. They are labeled as BBI, DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SYSTEM, SOFTWARE and 2 folders named 'app data' and 'TxR'. How can I delete these files?

    :)

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Cant Delete Files From Desktop

    Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?
