OMG, I just deleted 200+ GB worth of data off one of my portable hard drives! I did a windows disk cleanup, and when it was done, I realized it had deleted all my info form the portable hard drive and left me with this: How do I fix this? There's nothing to click in the folders, they're all hidden files. Even when I choose to "show hidden files" nothing shows up. But I know there are files in these folders because if I click on properties, it tells me so. How do I recover my data?
first dont do anything else on the hard drive, i willl search for a program that recovers files as most likely they are all still their... P.S. what background do u have?
Make sure you don't write any data to the hard disk.There are many pieces of software out there that will (at least try to) restore your lost data. Goog luck
