Hello,
I've been using Spybot for a while now. Today while I was running a scan, I was informed that there were >3000 temporary files that could be deleted if I so wished. Typically when I see this message I reply 'No' and take care of it myself. This time, my finger slipped and I pushed 'Yes'. The files were deleted without further message.
Where were the files deleted from? Is there a log I can consult? I just lost upward of 3000 files, and I don't even know from where they were deleted. I worry that actual, valuable files may have been lost during this, and overall, having some record of the files deleted - or at least a prompt outlining the directories from which they were removed - would be a good idea, I believe.
I'm sorry if this problem/question comes up a lot. I've run a search on the forum, but other than a generic description of what temporary files are (I already know that) or why it's a good idea to delete them (again, already know that), I haven't found much information regarding the paths used for deletion.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
