Edwin Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I ran ccleaner, and once that was complete I noticed that I had previously downloaded software in my Download folder. At that time, I deleted the files, emptied the trash bin, and then ran a Defrag. Once that was complete, I realized that I shouldn't have deleted the files in my Download folder. How can I restore them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators nukecad Posted April 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2020 As this was previously downoaded software then it's probably easier to simply download the ones you want again. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

These were mostly photos that are no longer available for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they can't be opened, used, or viewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did say in your original post that it was downloaded software, you didn't mention anything about photos. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
