Help Needed : invisible user folder
G'day,
I'm in need of some help. I'm not enirely sure how this happened, but one of my data folders appears to have become invisible.
The folder in question is called General_Backup and resides on a RAID1 mechanical drive:
Here you can see that when I attempt to create a folder of the same name, that Windows warns me that the folder already exists - but for some reason its not visible in Explorer:
I have checked to make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is checked:
In an elevated cmd window, the folder is also invisible:
IRST did not report any errors, but I'm currently running a verify just to be sure:
So, it appears that on G: there are only 2 folders:
\Colin-PC = 52.1GB
\Shared_Folder = 15.7GB
This totals ~67GB, but you can see that 515GB is shown as used:
I'm a bit stumped. The folder obviously exists, but I cannot see or access it. Can anyone offer any suggestions for recovering this folder?
Thanks,
Golden
