    Yesterday I found a weir folder (1kb) with one document (something encrypted). I scanned and seems fine, so I delete it. Today appear another one.

    Strange "C Missing" in Restore window

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. The Missing C Drive can be a folder or a partition. For us to further research about this, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Is your C drive an SSD or an HDD?
    • What is your current antivirus software? Are you able to perform a scan on this?
    • Can you send us a screenshot of your Disk Management? Right click the Windows icon and select Disk Management.

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you try to repair any errors by running Check Disk on the Command Prompt. Kindly follow the instructions below:

    • Open the Command Prompt (Administrator) by right clicking the Windows icon. Type the command below and press
      Enter.

      chkdsk C:
    • Check Disk performs an analysis of the disk and returns a status message regarding any problems it encounters. To find and repair errors on drive C, use this command:

    Strange folder on Disk C

    Strange hidden folders in C:/ - Can they safely be deleted?


    Hi,

    On my C root disk I have lots of strange hidden folders.

    Can they safely be deleted? They do not contain anything except a .log file in the $SysReset folder
