Deleted EA folder. HELP!

Hello;

Are you talking about the EA folder from your Documents section in Windows?

If so, your options are limited.

An option you can attempt to use is "restore previous backups" by going to the Documents folder. Right-click on Documents, then select an earlier date. (Be warned, this may restart your computer.)

If this does not work, try an earlier date in the previous versions log; if none of these work, you can attempt to perform a System Restore. I would advise you not perform the steps below unless absolutely necessary; I also recommend if you do use it, you do so in short historical intervals. The more time between now and the date of the System Restore determines how much progress/data in between that time will be lost.

WARNING: Performing the steps below is a one-way trip; you will lose everything between the date of the System Restore Point and now if it wasn't on the computer originally. If you're not well-versed in the use of your PC, it is advised you have an experienced user perform these steps so as to avoid error.

- Select "Start" on the Windows tray, then type "system restore." (You can also type "system" then select the "system restore" tab.)

- Select "System Restore in the window that comes up.

- Select Next, then select one of the System Restore Points that shows up in the list. (If no files show up, then the computer has never created a System Restore Point.)

- You will receive one last warning that performing this restoration that it is not reversible; if you are certain, select "Restore." This will shut down your computer and begin the Restore Point process. (This can take a long time, depending on your computer speed and amount of files to restore.)

- Once the computer finishes, navigate to where your files last were to see if they have returned.

------------------

I advise again that if you are concerned about the steps I provided, that you have a well-versed PC user go over the steps above; failure to follow these steps accurately can lead to permanent data loss on your computer.

(As always, be aware that I do not work for EA.)
