Hello,



I deleted an autorun virus on my USB drive via the command prompt. I now ejected and reinserted the USB only to discover my entire files were gone.
How can I recover those files?

Hi,

You can try using a recovery software to recover the lost files on your USB drive. But, full recovery of your files is not guaranteed.

I suggest you use Recuva : https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5003-recuva/

Once the software is installed, make sure you have chosen the location of your USB drive.
