  3. System restore failed while deleting following file issue

    Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Saeid. I'll be happy to help you out today.You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

    The error message you received during system restore indicates that the restore process failed while attempting to delete a particular file. The file in question appears to be hosted on a Microsoft Community Support file store.

    One possible cause of this error is that the file you are attempting to restore is currently in use by the operating system or another application, preventing it from being deleted. It is also possible that the file is corrupted or damaged, making it difficult to remove during the restore process.

    Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue and successfully restore your system:

    Disable any third-party security software or antivirus programs temporarily to see if they are interfering with the restore process.

    Boot your computer into safe mode and try to perform the system restore again. This can help to isolate any issues with third-party software or drivers that may be causing the problem.

    Try running the System File Checker (SFC) tool to repair any damaged or corrupted system files. To do this, open an elevated Command Prompt and type "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and press Enter.

    If the above steps don't work, you may need to perform a clean install of Windows, which will completely erase your existing files and programs. Be sure to back up any important data before attempting a clean install.
