Windows 10: Ctrl+Z deleteded most of the files in my folder. What can I do?

I regrouped m files in the folder, then I pressed CRTL+Z a couple of times to get to the initial state and boom there's no 28/30 files in the folder. WTF i wanna die

ctrl + z = my folder got deleted

Hello,

so I accidentally deleted my folder with videos (by pressing ctrl and z), I tried to recover them with "Recuva", but it found only few videos... Are my files lost forever ? T 3 T

 

Files Went Missing After CTRL+Z, Still Missing After CTRL+Y

I've never used these shortcut commands in File Explorer but I see it does exactly what you describe. I think this needs to be reported in Feedback. I have XP in a Virtual Machine and Windows Explorer doesn't seem to respond to those commands and I've never
used them before. Searching the web they appear to be program commands and not File Explorer commands. (although if they are not supposed to be used in File Explorer then it shouldn't respond at all to the keys)

[edit]

I found this for Windows 10, so I don't know why Ctrl +Z is removing the folder.

Ctrl+Y : Redo the ‘Undo’ action.

Ctrl+Z : Undo any action

Tried again using two folders and dragging a file from one folder to another and using Ctrl +Z does indeed undo the drag action. So not sure what is happening on your setup.

 

Newly Created Folder (along with files) Lost after I Accidentally Pressed "Ctrl+Z"

Hi,

I just lost my files in a new folder when I accidentally pressed "ctrl+z". They are not in the recycle bin. How can I find them back? And BTW, "ctrl+z" for a new folder is really a bad idea! Can't you just remove this function from windows?
