Is there a specific folder to know which fonts I manually installed and which one is provided by Windows?

I was deleting some files in my disk to free up some storage but I accidentally didn't notice that I deleted the fonts that I downloaded on the Internet (but the font is still installed, I just accidentally deleted like the .zip files of that font)

Is there a way to see which fonts I have manually installed and not the ones that Microsoft Windows has provided me?

    Hi Olimar

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If the fonts were installed into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder, the only way to try to trace those fonts, would be to go to that folder in File Explorer, set the view to details and order the folder by Date Modified, that may separate the fonts you installed from the Windows System fonts.

    Sometimes user installed fonts may also be found in this folder:

    C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts
