Hi /wsr/!
Something subjectively tragic happened to me yesterday and I've been trying to figure it out every since to no avail. I tried data recovery software but all that came up were unrelated deleted files. A few folders in my massive photo archive disappeared and while that might seem like something I could have done while clicking too fast,
my number folders, then the letter A and B erased. That was about 200 irreplaceable photos down the drain...

Then! what alerted me to this happening was a blank "C" folder, the folder wasn't deleted this time but the folder is empty and I don't think there are hidden files in it.
That isn't a mistake I could have made myself. It seems to have erased things in an order. I've been checking all the other folders in this area but it doesn't look like I dragged anything to another folder by accident.
WHAT THE FFFF happened!

I was transfering thousands of photos from my phone to other folders in this area.

Has this happened to anybody? I fear all hope is lost but if someone solved my problem, oh my god, I'd be so grateful I'll draw you a free art commission or something and I'm halfway decent

Just use the backup you surely made of these irreplacable files.
The fact that you completely deleted severeal folder in an order suggests you accidentally held down shift, marked them, and deleted them while marked.

But I couldn't have done that with the files inside a folder I didn't touch and leave the folder itself untouched <:)

Of course, making two mistakes instead of one is impossible, it must have been a super nefarious hacker who wants to steal your precious pictures.

Possible. I never experienced an error like this, but could be.
That's why you have irreplacable files on at least two disks at a time.
