Hi, i found this file on github, GitHub - Bahanix/aMazing: Porn folder maze generator which said it makes folder mazes and i thought it'd be cool to try out but i think it's a troll program because i think it deleted my desktop. Did it really delete my desktop or did it move it into a maze or something? Also is there a way to recover my files? i haven't shutdown or restarted my pc since it happened but i lost a lot of files.
System restore working ?
Also check if they were just hidden from desktop.
If they are not outright deleted, check in C:/Users/user name/Desktop folder. If not deleted, they should be still be there.
I had a system restore point type: install made by my python installation earlier today but that didn't restore my files. Right now i'm trying to get the type: system system restore working but it says my anti virus is stopping it even though i already uninstalled it. Then i tried in safe mode and it gave me this error: system restore did not complete successfully. Unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x80070002)
Also in my programs list it shows bitdefender as still installed but i try to uninstall it but the button does nothing.
I checked my desktop but there doesn't seem to be any hidden folders and most worrying of all is that i checked my hard drive space and it has a lot more free space now.
How did you uninstall Bitdefender ? This is official uninstaller for their products: Uninstall Bitdefender it should uninstall it without leftovers. If you uninstall most AVs usual way, you have to kill their service(s) first.
Yeah the system restore didnt help, should i undo it? Also i'm thinking of using data rescue pc3 to recover the data, do you have another recommendation?
Yeah my files were deleted, i looked up the code and it wipes the directory clean and then makes the folders. I tried recuva to recover my files but they were all overwritten, maybe because of the system restores? Unfortunately i lost around 100gb of files since i put all my important files on my desktop. Anyway thank you very much for the help, i'll mark as solved now.
