Keyboard Cowboy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 You know how on Windows 8 it keeps a backup of your favorites, tile placements, wallpaper, etc, is saved so when you get a new machine or format your hard drive it'll set all that stuff back to how you had it. What I'm wondering is where that is saved at because I want to delete it and start fresh. I think I found some kind of back up's on Skydeive that I deleted but when I formatted my hard drive it once again reverted back to how it was... Anybody know the whereabouts that info is stored at?

Keyboard Cowboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Options -> Device Settings https://skydrive.live.com/#!/Options/DeviceBackups Yeah there's nothing in my Skydrive folder but it's still pulling info from somewhere... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyboard Cowboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 https://skydrive.live.com/P.mvc#!/win8personalsettingsprivacy/ I already did that a while back but not in that particular order and I didn't do that "Remove" deal on that page you sent. I'll try it out again when I get home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted February 16, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's a hidden page. It doesn't show up on any of the SkyDrive menus for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard Cowboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 It is odd they make no mention of that page... But I deleted my favorites from IE so will see if they randomly show back up and I'll report back tomorrow. :) It's a hidden page. It doesn't show up on any of the SkyDrive menus for some reason.
