Restoring Deleted Files
In a botched attempt to empty the recycle bin via the command line, a massive amount of files and folders form the Windows directory were deleted. I get BSOD when trying Safe or Normal boot.
I used Macrium Reflect to create a rescue disk, used YUMI to put it on a USB stick, added the portable version of Puran to it, and am now trying to see if I can undelete the damage done.
To make sure I got it all I ran a deep/full/lost-files scan and the resulting list of files scares me. Nothing is dated. I have no idea what was deleted when or what I should attempt to restore. There are numerous Windows directories which include files I either don't recognize or recognize to be very old (unlikely to be recently deleted).
How should I decide what to undelete?
