Regular format of downloads folder
Hi all,
I've got a little problem, my downloads folder ("C:\Users\Ethans PC\Downloads") randomly clears itself with files/folders in it. This problem occurs when the PC is on and also when it's off (cleared during shut down and boot). I'm not sure if the data is hidden or it's got to a "format" state but haven't noticed a difference in hard disk space via "computer". I've lost nearly 100gb and would like to stop the problem. It occurs now and then maybe monthly or even weekly. It only started to happen from Jan 2014 onward.
I'm assuming it's not my anti-virus software as it's usually pretty good or the hard disk as I've done a dskchk which provided no errors. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ethan
