Hardware After my laptop kept crashing I accidentally deleted the C: Drive with Windows from it

dunno, my hdd backup with just the bluetooth mouse installed is less than 9GBs.

see if you have a windows old folder btw.

I do, it shows 1.77 mb.

It's one of the folders in the root of C: which adds up to 80 gb which should leave me 150. Unless there's a place I'm not aware of that can store C: files it makes no sense especially since it contains User folder which has all users under C: too which would include Downloads, Documents etc... and Program Files as well.

I finally figured out why I was getting the glitchy mouse and screen in the first place. I have my laptop hooked up to my TV, and it was a display problem. It started happening again then I noticed it wasn't happening on the laptop screen only the TV screen. I changed display mode from 1920x1080 30 hertz to 120 hertz (which is better anyway) and it was gone. In the past I never get good results using system restore so I'm just not going to use it unless there's no choice. It just causes more problems than it solves.
