Hi,

I used my USB stick on somebody's computer earlier in the day since then I have been unable to see my folders and files. When I open the flash disc it's saying "This Folder is empty" yet when I check on properties I see that there is content. I keep very important personal information on the USB stick including my final thesis project for my university final year. Could someone out there please please assist me on how to bring back my folders and files.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kind regards,

DaddyB

Hello,
# Download USB Fix
  • Launch it, a shortcut will be created on your desktop.

  • Choose "Clean" option.
  • A pop-up will follow
    Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, sd cards external drives, etc...)
  • Once you're ready, click "OK".
  • While cleaning, you will lose access to your desktop, but this is normal.

The numbers of analyzed and infected elements are displayed.
