the most annoying are shortcut results from 2 'recent' folders:
C:\Users\ADMIN\Recent
and
C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\
folders.
I checked the Indexing options and C is unchecked from indexing locations, there are no folders I don't want except Start Menu (could not find a way to remove it).
How do I get rid of search results from 'Recent' and AppData?
How do you stop Windows search giving results from those folders?
You say you've deselected them - when you deselected C:, did you notice a reduction in the number of indexed items? You can test that happens to check search indexing is working normally.
Otherwise, have you tried rebuilding the index?
There's also a search indexing trouble shooter.
dalchina, thanks for the reply.
it is starting to increase when i add C and back to number I started with when i deselect C
Still showing me results from 'Recent' folders after i rebuilt index..
Hi, I don't have C:\Users\ADMIN\Recent
but if I deselect this:
and click OK, the number of indexed items reduces.
I then find that items here:
C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\
are not indexed, exactly as I'd expect.
