Windows 10: My windows messed up after I deleted something

I have 2 memory drives, a small 256 ssd and a 1tb HDD, my ssd used to be my default memory drive that would house my windows files but I changed all the settings to make my HDD my default one, since my ssd is too small and can't handle much. After like a year I never use my ssd and notice it still being filled up by something but I can't spot what, I wanted to download a large extracted file, the zipped version of it was auto downloaded to my HDD and I extract it in the same drive, but after around 30% of the extraction it says my drive is full and I can't downloaded, but my drive is less then half full, I check all my drives and see that for some reason, this file that I downloaded on my HDD for some reason filled up my ssd even though I never touched my ssd, to fix this I wanted to remove some stuff, there were 2 different folders called "windows", one of them had a ".old" in the end of it, I deleted that one which was around 100gb, the other folder was the exact same, but after that, it deleted all my files on my desktop (which by the way is based on my HDD, not my ssd, so somehow deleting this file In my ssd removed my desktop icons on my HDD), all my school folders on my desktop, important files, gone, and they were not in my recycle bin, all I see is a dump.tmp file, my shortcuts were disconnected. Because of this I have a few questions... 1. How do I recover my files 2. How do I make it so I move all my files to my HDD and COMPLETELY stop using my ssd (including my windows save)

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
