Hello, your question is clear. The folder layout you’re seeing after reinstalling the drive appears unchanged because the old data hasn’t been fully erased. There’s no built-in way to instantly reset the system to its previous state without using specific tools. You might try using recovery utilities or a disk imaging tool to restore from a clean backup, or check if your operating system supports a restore point. Unfortunately, I can’t provide direct guidance via search results at the moment.
I'm frustrated. I just want to format the drive. It's unclear what happened—maybe it shut down properly, but the fast startup in CMD revealed hidden folders with random files. Those files seem corrupted.
