Question Files turned to 0 bytes

[lcsx]

Overnight, some specific files in my HDD now shows as 0 bytes. This happened with compressed files (7zip), ISO, video files (MKV). Videos with 100-120MB became 0 bytes. My compressed file with 82GB became 0 bytes.

What ive done so far:
1 - I saw some posts saying that this couldve happened because of virus. I scanned with MalwareBytes and Windows Defender and didnt find anything.
2 - I used sfc /scannow, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, chkdsk (i wasnt able to run with /f/r/x)
3 - I went to my Ubuntu (i use dualboot). There is also showing 0 bytes.
4 - Run the "Error checking" that Windows provides.
5 - I used Recuva in deep scan mode, specifying the file extension and the location.

Looks like they continue existing, since even when my 82GB turned to a 0 bytes file, my HDD is still occupying this 82GB.

Until now, i noticed that this happened only with my HDD (my Windows is currently installed in an SSD).
So, how can i recover this files?

Sorry for my bad english 🙁

hdd failed?

Maybe... But i still think that this may happened because i turned my pc off wrongly.
I used wmic and crystaldisk and both of them said that my disk is in a good health

See if you have a bunch of files named Found.xxx where xxx = numbers (001, 002, 003 ...)

You mean in the original location or somewhere else? In the original location is still the same name, nothing changed.

The same happened with a mkv file

I dont know if is useful, but until sunday was showing some error when i tried to delete/move it. The error was referred as "0x80070570". It stopped happening after i went to Safe Mode and tried to delete from there.

Also, Ive a chkdsk log here, if useful i can send it too.
