Windows 10: I deleted a file and My PC Is now basically soft locked, what can I do to fix this?

Hello, I was going through my files and deleting files that I didn’t really need anymore like old photos, after I deleted them Windows file explorer stops responding and then it Crashed with my Pc going blank, nothing happens for 5 minutes but I was still able to Crtl, Alt, Delete and reset my PC, now when I turn on my PC it Crashes booting up, And now the weird part, when my PC’s automatic repair boots up, I am unable to do anything, I can’t restore windows to a previous version, I can’t uninstall an update, I can’t boot in safe mode, I can’t reset my PC with keeping my files, I can’t reset m

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

Cannot delete files in Temp

Exactly Jim... which is why I had him knock-out all existing processes... OR try to.

The performance lib counters temp file though, it's usually controlleable via extctrlst.exe (reskit tool I mentioned above)!

That is so the majority of HKEY_DYN_DATA isn't being formed in memory (it's a "fake" registry hive basically & has no corresponding on-disk file)... that SHOULD take of that as well. The WMI counter is the ONLY one that you really may have trouble setting as "no longer generating", because it always restarts itself anyhow.

(There's ways to stall that too, WBEM folder stuff, but it creates more problems than its worth, because it affects other things, because once I removed its folders from the SYSTEM %PATH% & it stopped working alright, but a lot of other stuff did too!)

*Smile

* It's not working on his end though yet & I just read that now on edit!

So, something is STILL generating those temp files & the correct process hasn't been stalled yet so they are no longer locked... so, onto the next step.

POST STARTER:

Can you provide us a list of your normally running processes via a screenprint of taskmgr.exe's PROCESSES tab?

APK

P.S.=> xman makes a GOOD solid point - they're files that apps use, temporarily, & sometimes do NOT clean them up properly... leaving remnants that SHOULD be non-locked by a reboot... technically.

This includes performance counter generations... they SHOULD go away @ reboot... but, if not, this is the type of thing to do to burn them... apk

 

Visual basic text file nightmare

FYI, you can work around file locks by having CMD do a copy. CMD copy ignores file locks. Read the copied file, then delete the copy when done.
