Hello there i have a problem with some of my files and folders. I gathered some information that i was going to use pictures of or at least reference in a Batman project that I’m doing for arkhamverse.com. But a majority of the important files have somehow become corrupt the strange thing about is that only a few of my files and folders have been affected.

Here's 1 folder of the affected files:




And here are some of the unaffected files:



P.S. If it helps these files are located on a USB stick which has been quite reliable to me. Although this week is an obvious exception. .)

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.

Ok i've done what you suggested to do, but I'm still unsure of how I can recover my files.

After some research, it was found that the corrupted files cannot be restored.

Sorry about this bad news.

It's not as bad as I first thought a majority of the PDF files that I had to reference in the project were already backed up elsewhere on my computer. I'm still not sure about some of the pictures that I acquired recently, but if I can recover them I would only need to recover two PDF's for everything to be back to normal again.

On that note, is there anything that I can do to recover the aforementioned PDF's?.
