| | Vista cleaning files Hi folks newbie at this so be gentle. I ran a disk cleanup prior to going a backup. The cleanup took some time the when it have finished I started getting errors. When I looked all programs had gone missing Documents folder was all but empty. Tried a restore but failed, repaired windows and tried again. Restore worked but no files returned. Tried chkdsk with fix and still no joy. The size shows that 60G is being used so I think the files are still there but windows can not see them. Any ideas? |

It should have removed Visa completely.
