Missing files after folder renaming.
Working on a brief that is due tomorrow. Time is of the essence. I changed the names of many files & folders containing court forms. Very tedious but had to be done. When I finished & now ready t...
Same thing has happened to me..... lost hundreds of files.
I changed a folder name and every file within every folder of the root folder has disappeared.... the folders are all still there but the files are gone. I've checked deleted files and they've not been deleted (not that I could delete that many anyway) but I just can't find them
Same happened here and not only did I lose the files, but they never showed up under my "deleted" files so i could not restore them. Thank goodness it was a shared folder and i was able to delete the entire folder and have my friend re-share it with me. But that isnt really a solution now is it? I had a long back and forth with more than one support person and NOT one of them could tell me where my files went, why they disappeared, or how to get them back. Im sorry, but that is crap. I shouldnt have to worry about losing important documents that took DAYS to create simply because I needed to rename them!
