Moderators Andavari Posted June 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2006 Seems people as of late are storing important stuff in temp folders which is a big no no. If you stored them and any other important files in a system temp folder in general you're out of luck unless some sort of undelete program can get them back which is a big maybe. You need to start downloading files into a dedicated download folder such as C:\Downloads or even into 'My Documents\Downloads'. Just about any cleaning program will wipe a temp folder clean, even the built-in Windows Disk Cleanup could give you tons of misery if you store files in a system temp folder.

1984 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 tuneup2006 can find some folders that have been emptied from the recycle bin. its a great app worth paying for in my opinion. i have yet to have a problem with it, and use it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently trialling that, not sure about the registry cleaner in it though, seems to find an awful lot, a large amount of which I don't think are safely deleteable. Just my opinion. Does have a few nice features but personally I wouldn't pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
