Run a chkdsk on the drive in question. It's entirely possible that the filesystem was corrupted by that last copy operation. Open a commandline window as administrator and type: chkdsk x: /f (replace the x with the actual drive letter you wish checked) Reboot when prompted. This will take a good while so just let it run to the end without interruption.I had a folder, inside a subfolder, filled with pictures. I saved a pic to the subfolder and as soon as I did, both folder became totally empty except for the new image. I used recuva and restarted my computer and nothing changed.
Any idea what in the world happened?

the recycle bin was empty, i considered what you had said. I've decided to manually replace everything which will take some time but man does it suck lol.Bad keystrokes or bad mouse action that were not noticed at that exact moment?
Accidentally activated "invert selection" and did a delete of those files selected by the inversion?
Recycle bin no help?

NO, NO, NO! You check the disk for errors BEFORE you do anything else. To do otherwise is to risk making things MUCH worse.Ill do this later to be sure and ill post here with an update to what I find out, thanks for the tip
