Restoring Information
To restore individual files:
1. Click PowerClean in the QuickClean main window; then select Restore.
2. On the Restore wizard screen, click the arrow by the dropdown list and
select the backup or archive folder.
To see a list of the files contained in the backup or archive, click Next.
3. Select the files you want to restore from the list that appears in the next
wizard screen; then click Next.
4. In next wizard screen, you can choose:
• How to replace files in restoration folders. You can choose to:
Only replace older files with newer files.
Always replace existing files.
Never replace existing files.
The default is “Only replace older files with newer files”.
• Whether to confirm replacing each file.
If you choose to confirm files as they are replaced, you must click
OK
for each file in a message box. To restore remaining files without
confirming them, you can click Yes to All at any time.
5. Click Restore to begin restoring the files.
When the wizard restores the file, it displays a message that the job is
completed. You can click Report to view details of restoration activity.
Getting rid of backup copies
QuickClean backs up deleted files and applications so that you can restore
them if you change your mind later.
Backup files, which are compressed files containing copies of all deleted files,
are stored on your computer in a location you can specify in the General page
of the Settings dialog box or in other locations that you can specify when you
run one of the QuickClean wizards.
But note that although backup copies are compressed, eventually they will
take up a lot of disk space. When you are sure that you will no longer want or
need a backup of a deleted application or group of files, delete the backup file.
