Windows 10: How to recover files from Local Disk G:

I have been unknowingly saving important files onto Local Disk G:. I have always been able to access this drive. I recently unplugged my computer and plugged it back in and now Local Disk G: is gone. How can I recover all the files I had saved on this drive? Do they still exist on my desktop anywhere?

Local disk G

Hi mjking,

Open a command prompt with administrator rights and enter the following sequence of commands:

diskpart.

list disk.

select disk {number} eg. select disk 0

disk partition

select disk partition {number}

clean

that's it

when you open the command prompt and write diskpart than other command window will open than follow the sequence and identify local disk G with disk space comparison when you see diffrent disk partition and finally delete it .

try it and i am here to help you if not solved.
