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.

 

Folder won"t go away


I have a no longer used folder than I cannot delete. I have tried various third party apps to no avain. Any ideas how I can send this folder to "Never Never Land"

 

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.
