Windows 10: Files disappeared after moving to an other user. Where did they go?

Hello there, I tried to move files from a different user to my default user administrator. But when I clicked on copy all of the files that were located in my default user just disappeared. I think they are still on my pc because I found 2 files back. But when I open my map files on my desktop they are totally empty.

files disappear during move/drag when a notification popped up in Win10

I was moving 4 files from one folder to another folder using the drag and drop method on my laptop. During the drag before I even got out of the original directory I received a popup notification. This did something and took the focus from my drag causing the files to disappear. I was currently in the menu area to make the file list move upward toward the folders but was not in the folder area yet. The files simply disappeared! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They did not go back to the original directory and I checked the few bottom folders to see if maybe they went there. I could not access the undo move feature as the op had not completed.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
