I've lost so much shit. Games, programs, etc. Recovery programs like Recuva don't even work because it doesn't recover file paths, so I'd literally have to store thousands of files in their right paths manually which would take months. Also, some of the files can't even be recovered.
I'm fucking seething right now.
so this.... is the power of wangblows
wow...
What the hell is storage sense and why do you have it enabled?
You could just use windows 7 or XP and not have these problems.
Just go back in time retard, or don't tell me, you don't have made your time machine yet?
Welcome to life. Where shit happens, now enjoy the suck or suffer.
This is a learning experience. If you don't have control over something, it's not yours. Next time, use a real backup. Preferably, store it somewhere physically apart from your main copy. What you lost isn't that important, or else you would have been more careful. Thank God, count your blessings, move on, and do better
Storage sense does not delete anything in the downloads folder by default. It is default set to "never"
I had dozens of PS2 and Wii U roms. Thousands of hours of game progress in games like Breath of the Wild and Metal Gear Solid 3. All gone in the blink of an eye.
It isn't the end of the world. But man is a shit fucking feeling.
I had the low storage notification pop up and clicked it. I wanted to handpick some of the biggest files to see if I can delete it, so I clicked delete thinking it would show me a list of files and their file sizes to choose which ones to delete. Nope. It fucking instantly deletes the entire thing. I couldn't even cancel it (like you could if you're moving large amounts of files), it was instantaneous.
>i had /v/ shit
Cringe, you deserved it
I had important text documents there too but I'm not a retard I backed those up
>it's another /v/toddler deletes everything by accident episode
Story sounds shitty. I always manage my shit FAR before I ever get that low on storage. You should too.
>windows
good news, nothing is lost !
just ask Microsoft for your data it's all on their servers anyway
What is Storange Sense anyways?
> comes to Jow Forums crying
> make a thread about data lose
> everyone thinks is REALLY IMPORTANT data
> it's just videogames
Maybe this is the impetus that you need to quit games and finally do something productive with your life.
I went through something similar in college. Someone broke into our house over Thanksgiving and stole my PS2, my friend's Xbox 360, and my shitty AMD tri-core gaming desktop. Thankfully I had taken my laptop and external hard drive home, so my photos, college notes and anime were all safe, but over that weekend I lost thousands of hours worth of gameplay. And not just from when I was a young adult, but also from my teenage years as well (I had two memory cards plugged in to the PS2). It was shitty, real shitty. But in my grief, I found better things to fill the void. I could never watch more than 3-4 episodes of anime in a sitting, so the time that used to be for vidya got filled with programming projects and reading instead. I studied more and my grades improved. In the end it was a major blessing in disguise because I spent less time on things that didn't matter and more time on I think part of the reason why I felt so much pain at the loss was because I realized that I had sunk a huge chunk of my life into that shit and had nothing to show for it. Even anime was a better use of time because you could at least remember a story and discuss it with other people. Once the video game data was gone, there was nothing.
>I always manage my shit FAR before I ever get that low on storage. You should too.
This. And if you are low on storage and want to delete shit, use WinDirStat.
Who cares? As a Windows user you fucking get what you deserve. Take this baby shit back to /v/ where it belongs.
/thread
what a retarded post, stop playing shitty games then, good games are as memorable as any good anime or book
dude, why are you trying to do it the hard way? just restore the backup it's way faster
I have no backups
>Thousands of hours of game progress in games like Breath of the Wild
you are human trash and your existence is worthless anyway.
Takes me 2 minutes to download 100 gig
Lol suck it fags
To what, a PCI SSD in RAID0?
>What you lost isn't that important, or else you would have been more careful
Tell that to the company we had as a customer years ago that literally went bankrupt when their system got fucked and their "backup" was the production server. They literally had two partitions and copy pasted everything.
Never underestimate just how retarded people are.
Would be ~834 MB/s, more than realistic for a modern SSD especially in RAID0, but no chance on the internet connection.
>Storage sense monitors your system for old and unused files and actively removes them on a regular schedule
lmao owned.
>storing games in your downloads folder
>literally storing 100+gb of data in your downloads folder
get over it retard
you literally had games and programs, things that are on the internet at all times
I recently lost 3 months of stuff from Jow Forums that I'm never getting back
it took me less than a week to get over it and start collecting stuff anew
also get a device dedicated to backups and do incremental backups of all the valuable data on your devices
also stop using windows or be prepared for more losses
Btw what's the best recovery software? I've always used recuva, is there a better alternative?
>all the idiots falling for OPs thread
The guy clearly just wants recomendations for Jow Forums approved alternatives to recuva. The rest is in all likelihood made up.
I recomend PBMC2, has never failed me to date.
What sort of backwards company has so much shit stored in one single location that it can go bankrupt over losing just that 1 single thing.
Imagine if you woke up to "Coca Cola belly up after Warren Buffet formatted laptop "by accident" before going to bed!"
suck my dick user
All those “books” really improved your character. Socrates was totally right about those with a desire for knowledge to be better people.
lick it clean
>What sort of backwards company has so much shit stored in one single location that it can go bankrupt over losing just that 1 single thing.
A I shit you not 20 year old company that had everything in that one location with no backups.
Trade secrets, customer data, production, etc, everything was on that one server. That was in turn in a single server rack along with the rest of the network equipment and that rack was literally in a tiny 3m x 3m room with no fire suppression system but a fuck ton of old paper documents stored in it from the ground to the ceiling all around the rack. You can probably guess what happened. To make a long story short the drives were "beyond unrecoverable", to say it in the words of the recovery specialist we hired to save something of them.
The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.
>by accident
No user, you did that. You are responsible for it happening. Now stop shitposting wojak meams like a god damn fucking n00b.
>How Does Storage Sense Work?
>Storage sense monitors your system for old and unused files and actively removes them on a regular schedule. For example, if you have files lying in your Recycle Bin for more than 30 days you won't have to delete them manually, this feature will help take care of it.
>The same holds true for the temporary files and for the old files lying in the Downloads folder. In a nutshell, Microsoft has cleverly merged the old Disk Cleanup feature and the Delete Temporary files feature, and made the process as easy as pie.
>have Life 2.0.3 installed
>Rot Sense is enabled
>suddenly notice that the bananas on the counter from last week are rotting because I haven't eaten them fast enough
Look at this guy, preaching about backups, but not backing up his own shit.
