How to Restore Previous Versions of Files, Folders, and Drives in Windows 10
If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidently modified or deleted a file, you can try to restore it from a previous version.
The previous versions feature in Windows 10 allows you to restore a previous version of files, folders, and drives that were saved or backed up as part of a restore point, File History, and/or Windows Backup.
If a file, folder, or drive was not included in a restore point, added to File History, or included in a Windows Backup, then there will be no previous versions available for it.
This tutorial will show you how to view or restore previous versions of your files, folders, and drives in Windows 10.

There are a lot of ways to fix issues with your Firefox web browser, but reinstalling the browser is the best and easiest way out there to fix all issues at once and make faster than before.
Like other third-party web browsers, although reinstalling Mozilla Firefox browser for Windows operating system is easy, users don’t want to delete their saved passwords, bookmarks, browsing history, cookies, and other data while reinstalling Firefox on Windows.
The good thing is that you can reinstall Firefox on Windows 10 and earlier Windows versions without losing data.
As you likely know, in older versions of Firefox (v30 or before), there would be “Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations” option while uninstalling the Firefox. The uninstaller no longer displays this option but doesn’t delete the profile data.
The thing is that the Firefox uninstaller doesn’t delete data from your Firefox profile folder (which includes important data such as passwords, history, bookmarks, and cookies) and you need to manually delete the profile folder if you want to remove these data from your PC. When you re-install Firefox on the same Windows installation again, Firefox starts using the data from that profile folder. In short, you are not deleting Firefox profile data when you uninstall it.

IMPORTANT: We have tested this method with Firefox v59 and works great. However, we cannot guarantee the same for later versions!
