Back in 2010 I had mined a hundred coins (CPU mined, back in those days, lol). A month ago I decided to find the wallet file, took me 2 hours to search 5 HDDs with multiple partitions each from my old computers... I fixed this problem now by printing the keys out, storing them securely in a safe and deleting the wallet files.

Better luck than me. I've 500BTC that I mined and gave up on. They'd be worth $26k if I hadn't decided to clean out my backup RAID.
