Solved Hard Drive (D:) Clean up help please

Before I did a system recovery and restarted my computer. I backed up only my music files. There was barely no room in the (D: ). When I did the system recovery, and restarted my computer, I went onto the Back up and Restore center and it said it didn't have anything to restore, I looked in (D: ) and nothing was in there.

Is there someway to clean my (D: ) up?

Hi,

OK umm, I think I didn't put enough information.

I did a system recovery to its Original Factory condition (for some reason, don't ask ) So then I can't do a system recovery undo, cause I don't have times for the recovery thingys. Anymore solutions/suggestions?

OK,

Start again comes to mind.

So, let me think! At this moment in time do nothing! The more you do/ have done, the less likely we are to recover anything. "D" drive especially.

What have you done since your last post to the disks?

First use the drive as little as possible as Lottiemansion has said. The information is there, but it gets more and more difficult to retrevive with use

@Lottiemansion The last time I did with the (D: ) was when I backed up my music files, that's it. It was the only time I used (D: ). (First time)

@richc46 The Link you gave me, only found System Volume Information files. Nothing close to what I backed up.

I also want to delete the files I backed up, but it doesn't look like Backup and Restore can find it.

Also, I backed up BEFORE I clicked on System Recovery to Original Factory condition. When I went to the System Recovery thing, it told me if I wanted to back up files, I thought to myself that I already did (I did backed up the files before doing system recovery), so I didn't click back up the files on the System Recovery thingy.

Ok,

Thank you.

Where did "D" come from? i.e Was it part of the original system or a new addition (Plug-in) from you?

Where did you back-up to on both occassions & which order you did them in?

All of this will enable us to establish an event time line for the system/ your actions & help us decide what we can do & the best way to achive it!

@Lottiemansion (D: ) was from the original system, came with it when I bought it. Went to Backup and Restore center to backup my files, it told me this was my first time (and it was) I chose to backup only my MUSIC files, I backed it up on my "Hard Drive (D: )" I went to Backup and Restore Center to backup BEFORE I went to system recovery.

Right,

If you have tried the above posts on recovering data.

How much is the lost information & software worth to you? Would you "Poor good money to get it" or could you get it again from a simple source?

This is NOW the driver for the next stage on getting your information back! There are various examples of software that claims they can & there are examples of software does.

Unfortuately the more reliable, but not always, the more it costs!

So where do you lie on this matter?

@Lottiemansion The information isn't THAT important to me. But I just lost 240 songs. The reason I want to recover the files is to DELETE the files to get room for my Hard Drive (D: ) for future use if there are important things I need to put in there or to be backed up in there. I don't NEED to find the files back, but I NEED space in the Hard Drive for important use later. I only have 737 MB left. :I
