My Documents is missing, please help!

[ShaShar]

Hello there all

I have this huge problem and I really need help
My Documents is missing and there are a lot of important files in there
I tried everything and my attempts were not successful
I searched high and low and I couldn't find it

Please help me!
My project needs to be done soon and I would appreciate any help that you could offer!
Please forgive my English..

If it was accidentally deleted, you could try something like:
Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

It did recover a lot of my stuff but most of the files are broken
I appreciate the help though!

Hello ShaShar,

You might see if doing OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may be able to help restore the folder and hopefully contents.

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much but it didn't worked

I tried to go directly to My Documents again by using the address bar but then I got an error message that said 'access denied'
Before that, it said that the file location does not exist but now it says access denied
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Drop "My " from the path: C:\Users\[username]\Documents

You should be more specific with the problem. Where they deleted by accident? Did you try moving them to a new location? Did you just happen to find the folder empty?

 

[ShaShar]

Oh nevermind, it came back
Unfortunately, all the contents are still gone
Guess I just have to start my project from scratch again

Thank you for all your help

Try doing a search for one or more of the file names that were in the documents folder, see if anything comes up. Or, if they were, for example, MS Word documents, try searching for ".doc" without the quotes.

Tried it but it didn't worked
It's like all of my files vanished into thin air
Oh well, thanks for trying to help!

Hello ShaShar,

You might also see if the free program ShadowExplorer may be able to recover any additional files from the folder that the files were originally in.

Thanks again but that didn't worked too
