Hello. On Dec. 9, 2023, I accidentally deleted 5 or 6 folder from my C drive. The folders contained photos. I downloaded Recuva to recover the folders, but the software gave back over 200k INDIVIDUAL files instead of the 5 folder with their contents in them. I used an external hard drive for the recovery and after the recovery, I noticed that the original contents from my external hard drive (several folders) were deleted (I'm guessing to make space, but I wasn't notified). So not only are the 6 folders from my PC gone, the stuff in from external drive are also missing.
So it seems Recuva has made things worse. How do I get all of my FOLDERS back?
