Firstly, I dunno how to post images, even after I insert image, when I post, it tells me I'm not allowed to post links (I'm not, just images)

Afternoon guys, I've got a problem that even Google has failed to solve.

Basically, around a month or two ago, I deleted Skyrim, as I couldn't dedicate much time to it at that point. But yesterday I saw a thread elsewhere and it made me want to get it going again, but only if I still had my old save file. So, before I reinstalled, I searched my computer for 'Skyrim' and found this...

Brilliant, I thought, they're still there. And so, I reinstalled, and loaded up the game, only to be presented with no options to load game. So I searched again, and again, the same files appeared. I checked to see which directory they're in, and it says they're in the right directory ( Documents > My Games > Skyrim > Saves). So I right click and click 'open file location', only to be presented with this screen...

Empty! I know what you're thinking, I have the file set to hidden, but I've checked, and they're set to be shown. Right clicking any of the files in the first picture does exactly the same thing. The properties says they're 0KB, yet if I go to delete them, it says 7KB. I clicked on the 'previous versions' tab and get nothing...

If I try to copy it from my search results into the save directory, I get this...

So basically, it seems I have some save files. But the only way I can find them, is if I search my computer for them. They're not the location it says, and to everything other than the search function, these files don't exist. Am I [censored]?
