Windows Files Messed Up

[Liam Veale]

Hi there so i have had a problem with my windows file system and now it is starting to bug me, at first i started seeing "desktop.ini" in system folders like programfiles, windows, videos, documents and even pictures? Then in the root of very drive i have in my system a folder called $RECYCLE.BIN and System Volume Information, these folders have an opaque folder icon and i cannot delete them? Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it?

 

I have attached pictures of my folders and you should see what i am talking about.

 

Thank you

This is probably because you enabled "Show hidden folders" and unchecked "Hide protected OS files". These folders have always been there but you have just not seen them.

These are files windows creates and they are showing because you have show hidden files and folders enabled.

$RECYVLE.BIN is where all files are moved when you send them to the recycling bin.

System Volume Information is to tell windows about the partition structure of the drive. Dont mess with either of these!

And you lucky f*cker with your mirrors edge closed beta!
