    All files deleted

    Hi,



    Backup files will not be affected if the Windows 10 upgrade was installed on the hard drive intended for the operating system. If a clean install was performed where the backup files was stored, then all files will be deleted.



    For Windows 10 upgrade, we can manually recover the files by searching for Windows.old. Here are the steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Go to Local Disk (CUpdate deleted all files :).
    • Select Windows.old.
    • Select User then your Username.
    Let us know if you need further help.

    Deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" Files

    I noticed that "Depending on your HDD Space and you made sure your Updated on Windows 7" that you can delete all the Files "Going into Safe-Mode of course" but i saw a .Txt File that shows the Updates you've installed "That i deleted by mistake" but by deleting that File i saw the updates needed to be installed again but i knew weren't true.

    So yeah what ya' think? Should this be a good idea? I saw that over 3GB worth of files!

    Update deleted all files

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
