Windows 10: Photos & videos transferred from old iPhone to laptop got corrupted with enormous file sizes

Hello,


I transferred pictures and videos over from an old iPhone 6 Plus dragged them from the DCIM folder to a new folder on my desktop. Normally I would do it using CopyTrans, by my trial ran out. After the I thought successful transfer, I factory reset the iPhone, only to discover that they were all corrupted. It's the exact same issue this user had:

I still haven't been able to find a solution. In my case, the folder size is appearing as 20.5 TB, and size on disk as 6.90 MB. I tried to do the same thing mentioned in the first link above with the scripts and Extract.vbs files, but nothing happened at all.


Since I no longer have a backup of these images and videos and only have this folder that I thought successfully transferred, I'm really hoping something can be done to resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photos copied from my phone to my Laptop got corrupted with enormous file sizes

I am really, really freaked out.

I cut-pasted photos and videos from my phone (Samsung phone running Android) to my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop. Now the files are all 16 GB - 17 GB in size (the folder is 39 TB in size, though the size on disk is correct). I don't know what happened. They are
not opening (File cannot be opened because it is corrupted). Please help me, I don't have backup and its over 2200 photos and videos. Other photos and videos are opening.

(My laptop cannot have 39 TB of photos in it, its impossible. So the actual size has to be the correct one somehow, the one on disk).

Things I have tried:

1. Restarting my system.

2. Updating all drivers and restarting the system.

3. Copying file and opening in another laptop, didn't work. Also compressing the file and then extracting in another laptop.

4. Trying to fix a corrupt .mp4 file with VLC media player.

Please help me find these files again, I'll try literally everything you guys think will work.
