I have:

  • 512GB SSD
  • 8 GB RAM
  • windows 10
    • 331 GB parition
  • ubuntu 22.04 LTS
    • 4 GB swap area
    • 16 GB root partition
    • 121 GB home partition
  • intel i5-8265U CPU
  • no data backup

I followed this tutorial but with the 22.04 LTS download, I'm still very new to Linux.

I either did something wrong or 16 GB isn't enough for the new OS. After a few days, after I had installed some programs Ubuntu started complaining it didn't have enough space for the OS. It still had a GB left so I ignored it at first, soon I noticed some files disappeared on windows. I stopped using Ubuntu. Windows forced an update. Nothing super important disappeared yet but it would be nice to get them back.

Questions:

  • Why are files disappearing? Is windows deleting corrupted files?
  • How do I stop more files from disappearing?
  • How do I avoid making the problem worse?
  • Can I retrieve the lost files?

I'm not quite sure what the problem really was or what I did but the issue seems to be solved.

Here are some things I tried:

  1. Avoiding using Linux.
  2. Resizing the root partition.
  3. Looking the the Linux trashcan for files that disappeared on Windows.
  4. Disabling fast start up
