Wow. That is a major issue for Windows OS. I usually don’t use any of Windows tools for cleaning the system. I believe that if a part of Windows has broken the OS then another part of it is much unlikely to repair it.
Anyway, that is a very nasty bug from Windows. I am sorry for the poor guys that deleted their data because of this.

This seriously screwed up my computer. I ran the clean up anyways and tried to use system restore to get my files back. When I logged on it said my windows key was invalid so now I’m posting here with Ubuntu. I’m hoping that a recovery program will get my files back since they went back 3 years (1000′s of photos). Has anyone done this clean up and were able to recover their files? What program did you use?
