Accidentally delete windows folder

Post by Minecraft2207 »

I created a new folder and then i decided to delete it but the madafaka rearrenged itself at the top, making me press delete to the windows folder. I inmediatelly cancel it, did it end up deleting something?

I ran to my recycle bin to see if there was something and couldn't find anything not even hidden. But I am scare now.

If you immediately cancelled it, Windows may been still scanning the files and hadn't started deleting anything. To be safe, I'd recommend backing up your custom files, but if the OS still works after a reboot, and you don't notice anything obviously different about it, then you're probably OK.
