Hi Nergal, Thanks for your patience, but where exactly can I locate the option to turn off recover to original folder and just recover them to c:\r\ ? I am recovering from portable drive E:\ to C:\r. I could not find such option, is this option I can find during the scan, or after scan when all filers are listed? P.S. I have to select Restore folder structure, because I have lots of folders, and filers underneath.

I am sorry, but I am confused... the $resycle.bin is located on that portable drive, and it can not be viewed, only viewed by using Recuva to scan. as I said, the directory $RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1580082977-3013210137-4195539877-1000\ got added under c:\r by Recuva when I make the recovery from USB portable drive, can anybody please let me know steps in details on how to recover data without seeing the error "destination path is too long"? Thanks!

What happened is that I had cut a few large size of folders (about 160GB) from portable drive A, and pasted them all to portable drive B. They are just a bunch of data/pdf/words, and will only go to c:\r, so, I am not worried mixing or jeopardizing c: drive or any application on c:. Unfortunately, I lost this portable drive and all pasted data from drive A are gone now. I made full recovery of the portable drive A using Recuva, and restored most part of my files from the drive to c:\r directory which is manually created. Most of recovered folders seem all go under c:\r\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1580082977-3013210137-4195539877-1000\...These data under this long path are data that I need. However, there are about 8000 files could not be recovered and the reason is because of "destination path is too long". I don't know why they all go under $recycle.bin, but, I guess, it maybe resulted by "cut". and "cut" caused data to fall into recycle. That is just my guess. so, my question is, what do I do to recover all data including these 8000 files? or is there any way to shorten $RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1580082977-3013210137-4195539877-1000, since it seems to me this long directory caused the error message. I don't want to recover them to the original place, drive A, that is why I created c:\r for it. Hope I made myself more clear this time. Thank you!

If I use Desktop Icon "Recycle Bin", do I have to restore them to where they were located, can I restore them to another drive? Thanks for your message.

I am using the recovering option of "recovering folder" in trying to recover large amount of files/folders to a created c;\r directory. In the end, there are about 8000 files could not be recovered due to the same reason: "Destination path is too long". Here is what I found: Under c:\r directory, RECUVA software added two sub-directories on it's own, and the whole directory then becomes the following c:\r\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1580082977-3013210137-4195539877-1000\... So, obviously, these two added directories by RECUVA caused the destination path too long. Are there anyways to short or remove these two added sub-directories, and then I can recover these 8000 files? Thanks in advance for your help!
