witchdoctorelle Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Wow. So I was curious what "clean_dyndolod" was in my mods folder (I recently reinstalled Skyrim SE, so I didn't know what was what). I moved it to my desktop and clicked it and you know what it did? It deleted many if not ALL of my Microsoft Office documents and everything in my downloads folder and probably other places. The things it deleted is not in my recycle folder and it wiped my restore file history. I'm dying. Please someone help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorsha Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yep, a google search brought me to a website where you could download that along with some patches. My windows warned me for the file because it is a .bat file. I downloaded it to see what is says.Every file which was in your desktop folder is indeed deleted. The dos command is " del *.* ", and it means delete everything in that folder. Best thing you can try is to search for a undelete or file recovery tool. Deleted files are mostly stil on de disk, only the access is not visible anymore so the space of that file is accessible for the system to write to. So if you want recover files with a tool, be aware that writing on the disk where files are deleted, there can be some blocks overwritten, than it is not possible anymore to recover all.

witchdoctorelle Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Gorsha - I finally gave up but one day, all except one of my files was restored... somehow. If it hadn't done that strange magic, I would have never seen them again. Thank you for your help. I definitely learned a lesson.And sorry for the late acknowledgement. I gave up on Skyrim for a while after that XD Edited June 25, 2021 by witchdoctorelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
