They ended up using some special program to try to retrieve the files that did not transfer. Because of this my Documents is cluttered with a lot of things that were not seen there before. Things for example like: template-search which is a jpeg image, PNG files, GIF files, JScript file, and others. Some of it looks like if I had saved a webpage before, now it was breaking it down and showing a graphic from the webpage in a separate file. I would like to know how I can clean up this files so I can easily see my files I had saved and not all the graphics files and whatever else that is now listed there.
I would suggest that you create a new folder in your documents folder. Right click on the documents folder name to do this. Give it a name. Then drag and drop each file into this new folder. This is one way to get rid of the clutter in your documents folder without deleting anything you might need.
