Empty folders
Hi
For some months I have noticed empty folders, particularly on several USB hard drives. This has occurred on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops. It also occurs on the independent internal hard drive on this Windows 7 laptop that I am using now.
This always occurs with folders within folders, all of which are preserved but without any contents. I’m not aware of any folders themselves that are missing. Most of the contents are documents but all types of files are missing.
This occurs despite re installing images as well as after complete DVD Windows reinstallation.
The snipping tool images show the empty folders yet with properties revealing 52 GB of data which cannot be found. Recuva freeware reveals only 2 PDFs.
I will greatly appreciate advice.
