Windows 10: undelete able file

I recently found a 42 GB folder on C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps that should've been deleted a long time ago folder name: CodemastersSoftwareCompan.F12019PCGP_1.66.9979.0_x64__4cfye3zbe1gaw which is an old game folder and when I try to delete it I need properties and I have been changing owner and properties to almost everything. I would really need to get rid of this file since it's eating up a lot of space.

undeleting files

How do I undelete a file I just deleted?

 

Undeletable Folder Icon in File Explorer

You could try the fully functional Revo Pro trial uninstaller, monitor the installation of Boxcrypt, then uninstall it using the monitored data. That should be more complete.

Otherwise as you suggested (but back up the registry first) search and delete any occurrence of Boxcrypt remaining.

Searching the registry is most conveniently done with a 3rd party tool that searches the whole registry and lists finds, unlike regedit which stops after each find.
E.g. OO regedit (free) - which includes an address bar (path)




You can also use a freeware program such as
Locate32
Everything (void tools)
Ultrasearch

- these quickly index every file and folder so you can do an instant search of your file system for Boxcrypt.
I'd not know how to cope without these. (I prefer Locate32). Note- they don't index content.

 

Windows 10: Undelete files

I accidentally deleted files from the pictures folder. They're not in the recycle bin. How can I undelete these files?

There use to be an undelete function in DOS. Did we discontinue it?

Thanks
