What files to search for lost bitcoin?

A few years ago I had a whole bitcoin on my PC but I've reinstalled Windows since then and if it's still on here (I usually keep all my files separate from my system drive) then I don't know how to find it and I don't remember what wallet prgoram I was using. Is there some way I can search my drives for relevant file(s)? I don't know how they're usually stored. I might have completely lost it but I think it's worth looking since it was a little over a whole coin. ----Seans Potato Business 02:12, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant file is usually called "wallet.dat". MChesterMC (talk) 16:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tool to check for zip file compress level

I have a zip file and I'm trying to find the compression level setting used during its creation. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 but I also have access to a Windows machine so any Linux or Windows program that can help would be great (preferably Linux). Mũeller (talk) 09:58, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

zipinfo -v yourfile.zip

Or open the zip file with 7zip, right click on a file and choose "Properties". 91.155.192.188 (talk) 12:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
