Windows 10: Missing Pictures and Videos in Flash Drive

Hi,


I got a 2TB flash drive for my family pictures and videos. I put everything into the drive and it transferred fine. The other day I looked into it and some of the pics and vids were still there, but the others that were in folders are gone. The folders are still there but there is nothing inside of them. When I check to see the storage, it says that I have used 436GB of memory used. BUT when I highlighted everything and checked the properties, it says I have only used 15GB. I have already tried checking if any files are hidden, none are. And I have tried cmd dir /ar. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

:)
