    Windows attempting to delete contents of HDD upon boot


    Morning all,

    I've had this issue on two different machines now, both Dell one Latitude E5430 and the other a Latitude E7270

    upon sign in i get a folder access denied box, requesting permission to delete files. If you press continue, there is a prompt for the UAC requesting permission for the Alps pointing device, from there it then brings up the calculating results window which is calculating the amount of data to be delete from the This PC location as though it is looking to delete all data from the drive. Can anybody shed any light?

    Both machines are 10 Pro with Bitdefender

    :)

    RetailDemo Offline Content?


    Was cleaning up my 10162 install using cleanmgr. One option on the list was "RetailDemo Offline Content", it was 100MB. Not sure what this is, before I delete it. Suggestions?
