  1. I reset this PC and Got all of My files in D and E drive deleted.


    My D and E drive are now completely empty. I am not writing any files in those drive so that there will be a chance of recovery. Please tell me how should i recover my files. I only care about my study videos which is of around 200GB. Is there a way to recover those videos with the folders name in which they were ?

    Edit: They were pics of my family, now i want to recover every type of files there were like jpeg,rar and videos. Is it even recoverable ?

    How to delete D drive encrypted by Bitlocker without password or recovery key?

    There's a Dell PC running Windows 10 in my office that a previous user had that they created an encrypted D drive with Bitlocker. The guy has left and nobody has proper contact with them.

    I don't care about the data on the D drive I just want to delete the drive off the PC. Steps I have already taken are:

    • Reinstall Windows
    • Reset the PC with the options "Remove everything" and "Only drives where windows is installed"

    When I chose the option "All drives" I get an error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC".

    Can anyone provide instructions on how to delete the D drive encrypted with Bitlocker?

  3. D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

  4. I reset this PC and Got all of My files in D and E drive deleted.

    Recover from drive - just remove my files. Does it delete data from c drive only or all the drives/partitions?

    i am trying to recover from USB drive. I selected option "Just remove my files" and then i see screen with following text

    • All personal files and user account on your PC will be removed.
    • Any apps and programs that didn't come with your PC will be removed.
    • Windows will be re-installed from the recovery drive connected to your PC.
    • If you've repartitioned your system drive, this will restore its default partitions.

    What is the meaning of 4th point? is it going to delete all my other partitions like d,e,f ? or it will just quick format my c drive and install windows on it

    Please suggest

    Thank you!!
