Windows 10: Deleted then recovered mp3 files keep changing to mixed audio of other deleted then...

So, I will start where this problem began. I tried moving the entire music folder to the D drive, not a great idea. I made the whole D drive the folder so I, unknowingly and without thinking, deleted the folder and years worth of music in it. I regretted that immediately. So I managed to recover them using a program call Glary Utilities. It worked fine for a few days. Suddenly, 9 of the files are, not corrupted but, wrong? I don't know how to phrase it.

recover deleted data???

That was the word on the street (so to speak) all the way back to the DOS days.
Files are never really erased by the OS. Most every OS just marks the Directory entry for the file, that it was deleted. In the olden days, the filename "Mark.txt" would look like "?ark.txt".

PCTools had an undelete command in it's file manager. All you had to do was provide the first letter for a deleted file and PCTools would recover the file for you.

But if someone had deleted files and then did a defrag, well it was 99% certain that any deleted file was overwritten and gone forever.
Many logs are written to during bootup and can overwrite deleted file space, so the less activity performed on a drive after file deletion, the better the chance of recovering those files.

I too would like to know the name of that recovery program. I have one tucked away someplace but right now I don't even remember the name of it.*Confused
