Hi everyone,

It's been a while.

Windows 10 1607 version x64

 

I started a program called Duplicate Cleaner from DigitalVolcano Software which I used fine in the past.

My goal was, for this program to find my duplicate files on 2 of my external hard drives.

After starting the program and letting it scan the 2 external HDs, I found it to be very slow, I guess because there was like 3+ terabytes of data. It went for half an hour and it was only at 0.3%. I tried to stop the scan but it didn't react. I tried to close it, and it closed. Then I decided to uninstall the program and reboot my computer. After reboot, Windows went into some automatic repair which lasted a few minutes and gave me a pulse of 160. It rebooted my computer once more and I was back at my desktop which slowed down my heart rate.

 

Now, there appears to be another partition on my computer called system reserved.

Before the automatic repair, G:\ was my main external hard drive which is connected to the PC all the time. Now it is H:\ and system reserved got the G:\

 

How do I get rid of this system reserved partition?

What actually happened and what caused this?

Did my computer automatically used a system restore?

If it did, it didn't use my latest one, I did one 3 days ago and it seems to be still there.
