file - Restore Undo on Windows

    So I moved several .mov files from my iphone to a folder on my Windows 8.1 machine. I renamed one file in the folder but then wanted to undo it, I wanted to undo the renaming so I hit CTRL+Z. Nothing happened so I did it several more times. This went all the way to undoing the folder creation and the moving of the files from the iphone to the folder.

    Now, I don't know where the .mov files went. They're not in the iPhone or in the recycling bin. I managed to find one of the .mov files in AppData\Local\Microsoft\INetCache in a folder name that is completely random. But when I go to the Microsoft folder I can't see the INetCache folder even though I have show hidden files and folders on.

    Anyone know how to recover the files?

    I have files in C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\ERRORREP\UserDumps\ getting close to 100 MB each. Is it safe to delete them?

    The PCHealth folder contains data as part of the Microsoft Help Center Service. The hdmp files are the large, uncompressed dumps from the crashing program. The mdmp files are the compressed dumps that are sent to microsoft.

    As these are just files being used for debugging, you can delete them all safely.

    If your userdumps folder continues to gain these files, then your system is having problems. Any application that crashes will leave these dump files. You will have to figure out the problem before these files will stop being created.

    You can delete them safely, and you can stop them being created in future by:

    1. Right-click, "Properties" on "My Computer". (Or press Winkey+Pause)
    2. Select the "Advanced" tab
    3. Under "Startup and recovery" frame, click "Settings"
    4. Set "Write debugging information" to "(none)".
