I hope I can explain this but I’ve noticed that my personal files are disappearing when I organize them into subfolders.
An example is that I just created a subfolder and moved a photo from within the same parent folder to the subfolder. Ok seemed to work ok, but the file was now showing in both folders and I assumed that something went wrong, so I pressed F5 to refresh and nothing changed.
I then tried to move it again only I used a command instead of dragging it and a popup window said there was a duplicate file already there. So I figured it must have copied instead of moved and I deleted it from the parent folder. So that didn’t work because now the file is gone from both folders.
Ok so I figure this must be some crazy Windows 7 thing of showing all the files in all the folders, so I went into the Recycle Bin and restore it. Then looked back in the subfolder, but now it’s completely gone. I can’t even find it using the search function. WTF!
What is happening to my files?
This is not the only time although its the first time I actually saw it.
I noticed last week that I was missing approximately 1000 photos and subfolders. I originally copied those files from another computer on the network and assumed that it must of done shortcuts instead of actual coping so I just copied again.
