hey,
so my windows is running on an SSD, and due to some issues I had while ****ing around with some settings, I tried to do a system restore.. this failed however, several times.. im suspecting maybe also bc of said ****ing around with certain settings.. since those failed system restores, windows is now saying my system drive has only 12GB of free space.. however when I select all files on the drive and view the total size, it's only ~167GB.. and the drive is 250GB big.. I really want to fix this, I'm seriously having a bit of a panic attack tbqh..
What I did was mess around with the advanced security settings for the C drive.. so I could do more than just create new folders.. I successfully did this in the past, but some windows update reversed all the changes I'd made, so I made some changes again.. but I really really ****ed it up..
I applied said settings first on my own account (no problems yet), but then also on the built in admin account, because I thought it'd be more effective.. and that's when the problems started.. the windows 8 apps don't work anymore.. they crash when opened.. and now whenever I switch between my own account and the built in admin account it says the recycle bin on C is corrupted and asks if I want to empty it.. and then there's the disk space thing
HELP
if I fix this I'll never look at the security settings again ._. promise. also promise I'm not a complete retard.. just.. sigh. bit OCD. ~_~
