Hello All,
I have a folder encrypted via veracrypt. I do have the backup of the encrypted file and know the password. my windows machine got corrupted and veracrypt is not working now. Question is if i do a clean installation of windows and re install veracrypt would i still be able to decrypt the folder? please advice.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, if the Veracrypt folder (Container ?) itself is not damaged, you should be able to decrypt (or did you mean Mount ?). You can also decrypt if you run VC in portable mode: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Portable%20Mode.html
You have to be consistent with how you address VC Volumes: Containers, Partitions (System & Non-system), Volumes (System & Non-system), Folders, Files. You can't casually throw them around by calling it a folder only to switch to a file in the next sentence. Can throw off those reading a bit.
