I have two folders C:\DATA and C:\BACKUP. Each time when Dell's PC DR runs C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\PCDr\Downloads\Chipset_Driver_8J86F_WN32_15.3.39.250_A01.EXE it will delete the files in those two folders quietly and completely (i.e. even not appearing in the recycle bin)
Each time after I realized the files were deleted, I recovered them from my external drive backup, and a few days after Dell delete them again. At the end I used a program to monitor all file deletion on these folders and the program logged the deletion was done by C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\PCDr\Downloads\Chipset_Driver_8J86F_WN32_15.3.39.250_A01.EXE
I deleted the EXE file but one week later it appears and deleted my folders again.
I suspect the drive was intended to clean its temp folders which are named BACKUP or DATA after a regular check but for some reasons, it deleted C:\BACKUP and C:\DATA without validating. Could anyone help me
Could anyone help me to resolve this (apart from renaming my folders which is not an easy for other considerations) ?
This is the log from my folder monitoring program:
