Hello,
I can't believe I'm making a post about this, but I kind of need some help.
Just recently I acquired my first ssd. Due to limited space, I immedeately became anal about the space on the drive. Because I only play 2 games as of right now (WoW and Cod:Blops2), I was wondering how I had only 20 GB remaining on my ssd. WoW is 33 GB and entire steam folder is 10 GB. Windows is about 15 GB. 33+10+15+odd small software=70 GB at best. However when I looked over at my user folder it was 20 GB with nothing in it. I checked every (visible) folder and they were all empty.
Now before I even had a thought about turning on the hidden folders, I had this great idea of deleting the whole freaking user folder thinking "oh, it'll probably recreate itself once comp has restarted and will rid of whatever is 20 GB in space".
I was wrong. My desktop disappeared, no key shortcuts worked, I couldn't figure out how to get to recycling bin and it was 2-30am...
TL;DR version: Deleted my user folder like a moron. No more desktop. Can I restore it from recycling bin somehow? I have my 2nd storage drive with windows on it, can I restore it from there?
Thanks for the help
