    ProgramData folder found on second drive.


    Hello, I wonder why there is a ProgramData folder on my second drive, I used to store only Games there. But how can I remove it?I already changed where new content is saved to my Windows drive, so that is not an issue...

    ProgramData-filder backup

    Hi,

    The ProgramData folder is usually located in the C: drive of your device. To locate the ProgramData folder, you can perform the following:

    • In File Explorer, click on the View tab.
    • Click on Options.
    • In the Folder Options window, click on the View tab.
    • Under the Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files, folders, or drives.
    • Click on Apply.
    • Click on OK.

    Let us know how it goes after you've performed the steps.

    ProgramData folder what is it?

    Hi Kurtis,

    The ProgramData specifies the path to the program-data folder (normally C:\ProgramData). Unlike the Program Files folder, this folder can be used by applications to store data for standard users, because it does not require elevated permissions.

    The path can be on a volume other than the system drive and should not cause performance loss nor cause confusion to Windows , as long as it meets the following requirements:

    • It must be on an NTFS volume.
    • It can’t point to a drive that has a different copy of Windows on it.
    • It can’t contain any serviceable components

    Regards.

    ProgramData folder found on second drive.

    ProgramData folder

    I was unable to find ProgramData folder inside Local C drive......
    So I created a new folder naming ProgramData and when asked to overwrite the existing folder I accidentally selected Yes.....
    Now Windows is booting up properly but login screen is not displayed even after keeping for half an hour......
    I am using Windows 10.
