I'd hate to say it, but if the folders your data was in are not there, then there's a good chance that the data is gone.
You might see if you may be able to use the free program Recuva and see what it can find in your C:\Users folder.

Thanks for your assistance but im just gonna clean install data can be redone programs can be reinstalled im now just curious about what caused the issie so it doesnt occur again
You're welcome. I hope the installation goes smoothly.
You might consider creating restore points and a system image afterwards. This way if the issue happens again, you'll be able to use them to quickly recover.
Thats the problem i did but cant seem to find em can u please direct me to the best way to set up windows 7 for an ssd
You would do a clean install of Windows 7 the same way on either a SSD or HDD. :)
Clean Install Windows 7
Arnt u supposed to change settings to improve performance
Only if you are not using AHCI in your BIOS settings for the drive. These days, most already do by default.
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
thankyou i wish i had know about you guys a few years ago would have saved a lot of headaches over the years the service is fantastic
Any advice when getting this error for new users I'm trying to create? My current user works fine. I've tried a bunch of system restore points but no help there, I'm not sure when this error would have started since this is the first time I've tried creating a new user (besides my own)
In regedit the only S-1-5 (SID) key is my current profile which is working, I don't get any other SID for the new profiles I've tried creating (both with the gui and through cmd prompt). Likewise a folder is not created in my Users directory
When I first setup my computer I followed this guide User Profile - Change Default Location to move my user folder off SSD. Reverting that doesn't resolve my issue for new users
