Niclas Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) So i tried recovering some old files from my usb that i bought a while ago, but when finished recovering some unknown videos came up which some looks like stock videos but some looks kind of "real" from another family! Did i recover stock videos or somehow got others while. I bought the usb at a store so it isn't used. Edited December 31, 2019 by Niclas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrorSys Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I can't imagine a store restocking a used thumb drive, but I guess it isn't unheard of. My guess is that someone had used that drive previously, otherwise, how else would the files get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty standard practice to pull an occasional item off a production line and give it a test, so it could have been pulled, files loaded onto it to test and then deleted, then put back on the line. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Moderators nukecad Posted January 2, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2020 Maybe that's just what they had easily to hand to fill up the USB when testing? (Plus if they used their own video footage there would be no potential copyright issues). *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Moderators Augeas Posted January 2, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2020 My money's on whatever is on the drive has been put there by the user, in one way or another. I don't buy this testing story even a tiniest bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
