I backed up my data in a 1tb external HDD but when i opened the folder some files were missing. I copied the same files into same folder and i got a OVERWRITE dialog which meant the files are there but they are not visible. EXPANDING the OVERWRITE dialog for INFORMATION i found the files overwritten are being renamed to NOTHING and they become hidden.
[i have tried SHOW HIDDEN items ]
IMAGE LINK - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zmFwoxkpLA9V0fXTe9SKIuwJjDTbLvO1
Any way to acess those files?..
 
Can't really tell much from the image, did you do a search in the folder to see if that will pick up those files? There are also programs you can run to show you the contents of the folders like WinDirStat, you can run that and then drill down in the results to the individual files.

i did use the SEARCH and used winrar(to see if it is showing the files) but they did not work. thanks by the way.
I just did ERROR CHECKING and repair on the DRIVE from properties-->tools and it worked somehow, all files are now visible.
