Unable to undo Explorer search files transfer
I asked Explorer to search for files made between 2 dates 2 weeks apart. A large number of folders & files correctly displayed. In order to further reduce search to one file type, I created a new folder and tried to copy all the search found files to it, so that I could then re-search for *.mp4 files only.
However, it did not copy but instead began MOVING files to new folder. I cancelled, but not before many files had been moved. I then tried Ctrl Z - nothing, then UNDO from toolbar - inactive, which I had called up. Neither undo operation worked.
So now I have a very large number of files (1,685) and folders (49) drawn and moved from all over my computer, which I cannot begin to see how to put back into their original locations. I may be able to put back most of the folders which I had created, but as for the rest ..........!
I would very much appreciate advice on how to undo this disastrous operation
