Windows 10: Files lost after cut and paste with USB android phone to windows laptop

My files from android phone were lost after cut and paste in my laptop with USB. So, they didn't even copy and disappeared from the original location on the phone. I mention that the USB was not disconnected during the transfer. Please help me how to recover my files and how do you fix the "cut and paste" error? This error has existed for many years, and it is unpleasant when it happens. Please give me solution coz my data is very important to me.Thank you, Digvesh

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

 

Major defect with WM6 - Cut & Paste, then Cancel resulting in lost files!!

Reproduction steps

• Connect ipaq to PC via USB cable.
• Select mulitiple files from ipaq via Win Explorer on PC
• Cut and paste files to a folder on PC (by drag & drop whilst holding Shift key)
  
• Whilst files are copying, click cancel (on PC dialogue box)

Expected results

Cut and paste operation ceases, leaving any uncopied files from source (i.e. files should remain on ipaq)

Result/impact

I have lost all my data.

Any advice on data recovery?

If anyone has any advice for me regarding how to recover the data I would be very much obliged.

Best regards

Windows recover files lost during cut and paste

If files are lost using a cut and paste operation in Windows 10, e.g. due to a system crash, where do I find the files?

A friend of mine recently lost really important files due to cut and pasting onto a usb drive and then not ejecting the usb drive correctly.

I tried locating the files on his system but could not find them.

Is it really the case that Windows does just delete the files from the source directory before ensuring that they are moved to the target directory successfully? If so, how do I disable the cut and paste functionality as I consider it to be a seriously messed up bug then.
