Windows 10: Copy Files from Disk X to Disk Y Deleted by Windows

This is a WOW! WTF?

-I just move my files from my 1PC with all my personal staff from Disk "O:/" to my 2PC D:/!Stuff/ that I have just Install a clean Windows 10 Pro version ...

The disk to the 2PC was the "C:/" but I have put it out and plug it to my 1PC as disk D:/ via SATA3 so I can copy them Fast!

-I move them all and everything looks just fine. I was able to see all the stuff to D:/!Stuff/*.*
-I unplug the Disk and put it back again to tower2.
-I open the C:/ (now D: is C: to PC2) and my Folder wasn't there!! Nothing! I had create a folder C:/!Stuff/ and it wasn't there, it was deleted by the Windows.
Wow! This is Nasty! And really really bad!

-I took the disk out again, I plug in it to my 1PC and I create again in D:/!Stuff/ and put some Video files inside just for a test.
-I put again to 2PC.... and it wasn't there!! Again the Folder wasn't there!

Is that a new trick? Whats the problem with Win10 1909?

I run File Recover/Undelete, I was able to restore the files to a new disk, but not the structure of the disk and not the names just file1.jpg.... file10000.jpg etc

Is there anything I can do fix this? How is it Possible the Windows to delete my Personal Folders without even ask me ?

Disk partition

Copy the files you need on to a different disk, delete all partitions and format , copy the files back on to the disk , job done .

 

Disk space.

Could be the Windows Update Stores files, .old files, shadow copies, etc.

Try running Windows disk clean up with the "Clean up System Files" option.

Delete files using Disk Cleanup <-- Be sure to check out the section at the bottom "To clean up all files on the computer".
