    What happen to other drives when I choose Remove Files and Clean Drives


    Hi, I want to reset my laptop and reinstall Windows. I follow the steps :Setting -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Reset this PC -> Remove Everything -> Only the Drive where Windows is installed-> two options: - Just remove my files 1- Remove and clean the drive 2The last time I tried option 1, and my laptop works normal but after a short time, it keep running into error everytime I start up. So this time I want to try option 2. What happen to other drives when I select Remove and Clean Drive? I have lots of data on it and it taking so much time to backup to Dr

  2. remove files and clean the drive

    Hi,

    There are many ways to recover your missing files. To provide you the best option, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • What procedures are you referring to when you clean your drive? Did you perform a clean install?
    • Are your files synced to OneDrive?
    • Have you set up a drive for File History?

    If your files are synced to OneDrive, we suggest you go to
    OneDrive Online
    and download the missing files from it.

    You can also restore files or folders using File History if you have set it up before. You can refer to this

    article
    for more information about this.

    We look forward to your response.

    Thank you.
