Windows 10: Windows reset w/ keep files shows it will delete things on other drives

Hello, I am trying to reset Windows in hopes of solving some other issues with my PC. I am running Windows 11 and Windows 11 is the only thing I care about on my C: drive. I have plenty of games, software, and work related stuff across my D-G drives that I would like Windows to keep but when I choose to reset Windows and keep files, when Windows shows the list of all software that will be removed it shows all the software across all my drives and says all of it will be removed. I can't seem to find anything similar to this online, any help is appreciated.

deleting hard drive files

Hi,

May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
perform the task:

• Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
  
• Choose the files to delete
  
• Click on "Clean up system files"
  
• Click on Ok
  

For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.

 

Files in mediaplayer on W7

I have some files listed on my windows media player library showing that are no longer on my hard drive. It will not let me delete them for some reason. Waht can I do to get rid of these? I right click, asksme if I want to delete when I click on delete, but nothing happens after that. Obviously the files cannot be accessed when the location no longer exists, any ideas?

 

Stored files in Hard Drive

You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)
