Windows 10: The Appearance of a SnapShot Folder

Hi Guys,

I was doing some house-keeping when I discovered a SnapShot folder in the Temp folder of ProgramData please refer to the image below





This SnapShot folder contains a combination of files with .buf and .idx extensions which, according to the Internet, are Buffer and Index files.


Do you have any idea as to what Program could have created this SnapShot folder?


FYI, I recently also discovered three CISCO programmes on my Installed Programmes list. I have since uninstalled all three of them as I do not use SQL or any CISCO products.


My computer is protected by MalwareBytes and I will be running AdwCleaner shortly.



Regards,

Andrew

How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

• Make a new folder.
• Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
• Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
• Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin

 

folder appeared


The hidden files get assigned a letter sometimes, if you try to mount any ISO via Explorer r-click. My 'mystery' drive letter is almost always 'Z'. You can simply remove the letter and the essential file will once again be hidden by:

Open command prompt (admin), type at each step, observing spaces-
diskpart (hit Enter)
list volume (hit Enter)
select volume # (corresponding to one you want to disassociate, in this case, 4 & hit Enter)
remove letter=F (Enter)
list volume (to double-check that this worked)





DONE
