While I was cleaning my PC using CCleaner, I decided to delete windows.old folder. After cleaning process finished, programs never launch when I open it. I restarted the windows but it won't boot and give STOP CODE error.

Here is my Laptop Specification:

Model: Lenovo z570
CPU: intel i7-2670qm
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce gt 540m
RAM: 8GB
OS: Dual boot Ubuntu(main boot loader) & Windows 10

And here is the solutions I tried and none of them worked:

1- Startup Repair (took about 30-45 min and gives error)
2- Reset This PC (exit at 36% with Undoing Changes message)
3- Using Command Prompt
chkdsk c: /r /x & sfc /scannow
bootrec /fixmbr , bootrec /fixboot , bootrec /scanos , bootrec /rebuildbcd and it outputs: "Total identified windows installation: 0"
How to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Suggestion only :

Clean Install is in order.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago when I deleted the Windows.old folder through CCleaner. I wasn't able to boot it and it would restart every time. I then ended up restoring my laptop to 2 days ago and it started working again.

These third party programs do not have an intimate understanding of the OS like MS does. Disk Cleanup would have done the same without any issues. I can't believe people let this app muck around in the registry too.
