    Lost User Profile and Information


    My son somehow deleted my profile on our computer. Is there any way to retrieve the information? OMG!

    Hello cocladyd, and welcome to Seven Forums

    Double check to see if you may still have the "C:\Users\(user-name)" folder for your account available. If so, then you could retrieve any needed files from it.

    If it's not there, then do you have a backup of it, or any system image backups?

    Most likely not. Time to buy the kid his own computer. Tablets running windows 8.1 can be had for around a hundred bucks. Acer or Toshiba have one for $120.

    As Brink asked, do you have any back up images?
