Accidentally deleted my Documents folder on my PC.

[JohnSm123]

Is there a way to get it back, or should I forget about it forever?

This may be a silly question, but did you check the recycle bin?

Yes. It's not there.

So, basically, after it ASKED you if you wanted to delete the folder, you still said yes? Did you even read the warning box?

Call MS tech support or look it up on their help FAQ's

It's more complicated than that.

My profile is so fucked up by the grandkids that I have profiles inside of profiles.

I use a recovery program called Recuva. You can google for it, it is free, has saved my bacon couple of times. However, if it has been some time since you deleted the folder/files, it is possible that the operating system has written over them as part of normal use. Then you are screwed...

I updated to Windows 11, and now I once again have a Documents folder. The problem now is that my PC is slower during the first minutes after I turn it on. Was it a bad idea to update to 11?

I have windows 11, but it was already installed in a new system I bought. As far as I can tell, since I have adequate hardware. 11 works just as well as Windows 10 did.
