    Photos dissappeared from folder

    Hi I hope someone can help me, I'm running Windows 10 and had loads of photo folders in pictures which have just dissappeared. I've tried everything I've read but can't find them or restore them in anywhere.

    I found I had the issue when I bought an external hard drive to back them up and to my horror they are all gone!

    Any suggestions or anyone had this issue and resolved it!

    All sub folders with photos in on the desktop are still there.

    Thanks in advance

    DOWNLOAD folder has dissappeared.

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
