Everything in my downloads folder disappeared when trying to migrate another user.
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I am using USMT for Windows 11 and the latest SuperGrate. I was attempting a test back up of a different user. The executable for SuperGrate was in my downloads folder so I set the SuperGratePayloadPath to it. When I started it, almost everything in my downloads folder disappeared. I think I got an error but do be honest, I wasn't really sure because I frantically clicked to stop the process when all my files vanished. I have no idea what happened to the files nor why they were moved. I have included my log. Please tell me they didn't get deleted.
Looks like you changed this setting to your downloads folder:
It's best to leave this option alone. The only reason I have ever found to change is when the C drive is full and you need more scratch space for USMT to work, like an external drive or something. When Super Grate finishes up, it tries to delete the "SuperGratePayloadPath" folder.
