I was attempting to clear space on my hardrive by deleteing files I was sure were not integral to system function however that appears to not have been the case. Since clearing my drives abit my pc has started to BCOD at an accelerating rate over the last few hours. To the point where now Iβm lucky to have it start up at all to run diagnostics. Really not sure what there is that I can do looks like last recovery save was annoyingly just after the file deletion so cannot revert back. Any suggestions welcome thank you.

Assuming you donβt have a backup since youβre here? -
So nothing in Recycle Bin?
Have you tried System Restore points?
You could try, from an elevated command prompt > dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then there is Reset My PC, keeping personal files.
And finally, the big hammer, reload Windows from scratch!Comment

Sadly not. With the power of hindsight itβs obvious to do so.Originally posted by xrobwx71Comment
