9,665,004 kb file recovered with 0kb

A search discovered the file I'm looking for. The state is "unknown" and it says "No overwritten clusters detected." When I hit the recover button, yes to a different drive, the dialog box says Total recovered 1 files, fully recovered 0 files partly recovered 1 files. operation completed in 0.02 seconds.

However, on the drive the file is listed but has 0kb

HELP

This is a video project that I think got eaten by google drive.

In NTFS files over 4gb in size, or files that are heavily fragmented, have data cluster run information overwritten on deletion. If your file is in one fragment then it is possible that it can be found with a deep scan, if you are lucky. Otherwise there is no practicable way of recovering the file.

I've moved this topic to R Discussion, as it is not a bug.
