    Someone or Something Deleting Music Files


    I have reviewed the answers to this in the Community and don't have an answer yet. I rip my CDs to the PC so I don't have to keep my music library close to the workstation because it is sizeable. But when I try to listen in Windows Media Player most of the files are not there. For example, I ripped a couple George Thorogood CDs and now have only five songs in the folder. This appears to be an ongoing problem with Microsoft. Are they ignoring it because they can't come up with a solution or provide an answer that non-Microsoft tech savvy people can discern? I want my files safeguarded from someone or something.

    :)

    Deleted music files

    A bunch of my music files have been deleted. I accessed iTunes, where I first noticed a ton were gone. Then I followed some steps to get older libraries back, but the actual music files were all missing. How do I get these files back? Most of the hard
    discs that the music came from are long gone.

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.
