[QUOTE="cmlondon, post: 2174224, member: 768438"] I have a Packard Bell laptop running Windows Vista. I have a Mac now so I don't use it, so I was going to give it to one of my friends. I never got a restore CD with it when I purchased it, so I deleted all of my old files (music in iTunes, movies, documents, emails and calendar appointments in Outlook etc). However, I used the "search" function and searched for "." to bring up all the files on the computer, and they are all still on the computer … how can I delete these for good? When I try to delete them, it says that as they are no longer on the computer and cannot be located, I cannot delete them. How can I delete them or, even better, how can I restore my laptop to factory settings? I tried hitting F10 and F11 on startup as I read this on other answers and it didn't work. I have no earlier restore points as I deleted them. [/QUOTE]
