Unable to remove files from Windows 7.

03-09-2016, 08:57 AM

your toshiba laptop has limited specs—2gb ram, intel 3000 g core i3 processor, and a low-end system. you installed windows 7 on a local disk, but some files remain from the old version. removing them is tricky because access is blocked. try using a recovery tool or a bootable usb to restore windows 32x safely. if needed, consider reinstalling from a clean media.

Check if there are two separate drives or just one containing two partitions. Open Disk Management, remove the E partition, then combine it with the C partition to restore a single drive.

Ensure proper permissions are assigned. Ownership should be secured first. You might discover some tools that can streamline the process.

If there’s a separate drive, you can transfer all desired files to the E drive, then to the D or C drive. Change the drive format and relocate everything back.

Only a small amount of space remains, just around 10 GB available.

Only the information related to the deleted partition will change. Deleting partitions D and E will remove their data completely, while partition C will stay unchanged.

it will work after a lot of registry tweaks and handling each file individually, about 11,000 files. Once done, every file got deleted and it finally functioned. Thanks everyone! Now I’m going to bleach my eyes.
