    Files gone after cut/paste then undo (control+z)

    I seem to have lost my files after doing the following steps. Is there a way for me to find the files?

    • I created a new folder in "Pictures" called "MomsPhone" C:\Users\willj\Pictures\MomsPhone
    • I selected the picture files from the android phone's DCIM folder, right clicked and chose "Cut"
    • Right clicked in the "MomsPhone" folder and chose "Paste"
    • In the "Pictures" directory, pressed control+z (undo)
    After the above the "MomsPhone" directory is gone, the only folder in "Pictures" that was created today is "New folder" which is empty. The files from the original device (pictures from android phone's DCIM folder) are also gone (result of the cut/paste)

    Edit: I use a Windows 10 HP with a Samsung SSD

  3. Recover files lost after hitting undo on a cut paste operation

    Hi

    I was transfering some photos from mobile to pc and I used cut paste option. the copy was completed and i was doing some other operation when I hit undo a few times and all the files that i copied were lost along with the folder. The photos are not in recycle bin, i didnt have backup turned on in my mobile and I cant find those pictures anymore. No option to return to previous version on pc. Can you please help? Where does the files go when we hit undo? Any temp location?
