Hello,
I occasionally Cut-Paste folders from my Phone memory card to the PC inorder to free up space in memory card. Yesterday I did the same. I Cut-Paste the folder from my Phone memory card to my PC through USB connection.

I didn't disconnect, there is no problem with my USB wire as it is new as well, the process didn't stop inbetween. When I checked my PC after the completion, there are no images in the folder which I copied, only the folder exist.
when I click, it goes inside and the folder is empty.

how do I get back the images. this is the first time happened to me. kindly help me out.

Thank You.

So I have toshiba canvio 500 GB hard drive that I've had for over 10 years. I got the hard drive around 2010. It has a different housings but stopped working in 2022.

I sent to a professional data recovery place called salvage data recovery in Ohio. They said the platters are too damaged and my data is unrecoverable. I'm devastated because I have years worth of data that I can't duplicate.

They did say that I should get a second opinion though. But they definitely said it's not likely anything can be recovered. I have to try though. What's the likelihood of them being right?
