    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.

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

    Reproduction steps

    IPAQ 214, with WM6 classic, CE OS 5.2.1711 (build 18165.0.5.0)

    PC - WinXP Pro, SP2

    • 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)

    Actual results

    Cut and paste operation ceases, and all files are MISSING from source.

    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

    Mark

    Cut and Paste Problem

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    • Are you trying to cut and paste a folder from an external device?
    • Do you have any other User accounts on the computer? Did you check the files in other User accounts if any?
    • Was there any interruption during the cut and paste process?
    • If the cut and paste process was interrupted, did you receive any error code or error message?

    I suggest you to check the missing files in the Recycle Bin and try recovering the files. You can also try manually searching the files by entering the file name in the search bar.

    Please refer this article and run the diagnostic tool to troubleshoot on the issue.

    Automatically diagnose and repair Windows file and folder problems    .

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,
