    In Win 10: Where're the files lost after I cancelled moving them?


    From the task bar; I clicked on the desktop icon. Till appeared from the sub menus: the E drive "E is part of the hard drive but not a system drive". I clicked to move it to the desktop of my labtop. The computer said it's moving it. I changed my mind; so I paused the operation. Then I cancelled it.

    After that I didn't find many files that were in E. I lost the first alphabetical folders with all its files.

    I searched for the files using the file explorer search; but I didn't find any. I searched for them in the whole PC; not only E. They're not in the recycle bin even. I don't have backup for them also.

    Where can I find these files? Or I lost them forever?

    :)

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    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
