I know its my fault I dont have these files backed up. I had a good set and lost them on a different drive.
I need to debloat the telemetry and even things that drain the performance.
Looking for something more advanced [ and risky]. then simply removing Solitaire.
Really reducing win 10 down to vital core components. And removing all the tracking and advert stuff.
Thanks in advance for advice.
May I ask what %ge gain in performance you actually need?
Performance- as in which aspect of performance? Disk transfer rate? Speed of loading programs? Graphics? Internet speed?
What is it in particular that you find slow?
How old is your PC?
How come you're using a HDD and not a SSD if you're concerned about performance?
Have you tried a search?
Note: please back up before making changes so you can reverse them.
May I suggest that when things go wrong, you make that your priority, rather than posting here for help.

How Do I Completely Disable Windows 10 Telemetry?
- and feel free to search tenforums and elsewhere for more such tools.
N.B. satellites and jet aircraft rely on telemetry for very good reasons. All jet engines are constantly monitored to detect early issues. Telemetry in itself- measurement at a distance- is not bad. How else do you think MS routinely monitors issues caused by updates, for example, or makes marketing decisions based on product usage, other than individual feedback?
It's not interested in your bank account or the pictures of your family. Well, I think we'd have heard about that.
Have fun!
It's not for everyone, but I ran Atlas OS and it removed all the crap. This is for a fresh OS install though. It will disable updates (which isn't really an issue for me as I don't pay homage to the patch Tuesday god for reasons)... Atlas OS also disabled System Restore, but you can turn it back on no problem.
Check that out if you want Windows 10 stripped down. I was pleasantly surprised by it and how I saw next to no telemetry pouring out of the NIC afterwards. Again, it's not for everyone, but for me personally it's great. Plus, it's legal too as this is not a full on ISO download of some stripped down Windows 10 or what ever. There are some nay sayers on the ever popular YouStupid, but I have my suspicions they glow more than Kryptonite or something. I just can't place it. I DO have a bit of clairvoyance and some intellect so there's that... But most of the time I'm pretty f-ing stupid...
I'm sorry, but this is absolute crap. You're comparing apples to pineapples here. Data delivered from the cockpit, its systems, and whatnot is NOT the same as some user at home and his/her/its PC (Personal Computer). And the hell I want some company peering into my computer anyway. I don't even allow my software to make a connection to the outside world looking for updates and other crap that software does now-a-days unless I personally allow it to do so. Bad enough some software messes around with the WPBT... GitHub - Jamesits/dropWPBT: Disables the Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT) in your UEFI firmware.
Edit-
Is this telemetry good or bad?

Back in the day malls and whatnot would listen to the IF (Intermediate Frequency) of you car stereo to see what channel you were listening to for marketing/research purposes.
Marketing, telemetry and whatnot is HUGE money.
