My folder is present in D drive. And it contains all sub-folders that I have created. But I cannot locate any of the files present in those sub-folders. They are all missing (I discovered that they are missing a couple of hours ago)!!! And the most important file that is missing is my CV (of all things!!) I know I'm the biggest idiot on this planet not to have a back-up on my USB, but please help me here!! My folder contains 10 sub-folders, but the files present inside each of those sub-folders is missing (strangely, all the 10 sub-folders are present with their names intact, but the size of each sub-folder is 0MB). The Recycle Bin is empty. I tried everything, from System Restore (to about 3 weeks back), to using the Search function (when you press the 'Start' button), to even using downloaded software used to locate files which have even been deleted from the Recycle Bin (such as Erasmus and Remo Undelete). But nothing seems to work. So, could someone please help me in locating my missing files???

Thanks...

Try Recuva, the portable version. You don't need to install it you can run it from a usb stick. means you are less likely to write over your lost files. You can get it here,

when you download download on to your usb stick.



It' very easy to use, give it a go.



For future reference a system restore will not repair lost data files.



Hope you at least get your CV back good luck

After it reveals the archives, it is going to construct a tree.

I think probably your pen drive was infected with some virus and you have a free antivirus installed in your system which wiped out all the files which were infected. I would recommend you to use some data recovery software. But I dont think it will work.



But use a good antivirus to avoid this in future.

The situation which you explain makes me doubt if its hidden or have you used any Folder lock softwares... Or have you been hacked if you were connected to the internet.

Cool

Recuva may help!

Scan your pc , maybe it's a virus deleting files , and search for recovery problems :)
