Dude, you are a life saver. I was trying to clean out a different hard drive from another computer and went in over my head. I wound up cleaning out my external HD with all my personal files and I FREAKED OUT. I'm still in the middle of getting my files back but I wanted to say you save my family history of my grand kids growing up. I'm a life time subscriber. You have no idea what you helped me recover. Mick
Thank you for this, i had some very precious files on a disk drive which i thought i'd lost forever, you're first method worked. People like you who share their knowledge so freely restore my faith in the world. Thanks again.
I accidently deleted all my work files from my USB. My heart literally fell out of my a**. I was completely devasted after option 1 and 2 didn't work. I installed the software from the link and I got everything back!! I'm crying. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
This happened to my mother 10 years ago She called the IT guy and told Jim that she was copying and it all disappeared. He sat there and he said both USB drives are not working anymore, and he right click formatted them both without even asking her. Too late now. Those were all the photos of our family since marriege for the first 10 years of our lives. 4 children and parents. All gone just like that My poor mother is so traumatized she doesn't care about anything getting deleted anymore because of how valuable what was deleted was. She cried for 3 weeks then.
I accidentally deleted a couple of photographs from my USB drive which I'd already wiped off my SD card in my DSLR camera. It wasn't the end of the world but I was so so disappointed. I got them back using the Windows File Recovery tool and I'm so grateful to you for the carefully written explanation with pictures. Just popping on your video to say thanks very much! My husband was well impressed and I've been able to show him how I did it too.
Dude you saved my life!! God bless you....... yooo. I borrowed a drive from my neighbor full of images of their daughter which was the only copy they had. Somehow it got deleted. Your video not only saved my day but my friendship with them as well. Can't express how happy I am now.
I can not thank you enough for helping me. It was the first book I wrote that I lost. I was up all night trying everything to restore it. You saved my sanity, I didn't want to edit it all over again.
You're such a life saver. I almost give up to restore my files, because the first and second way didn't fix my problem but on the 3rd one. It was successful.
Lost my entire peg with all my year 6 planning 2 days before returning to school. Memory stick said to format as was corrupt. Ran the first suggestion from video and it worked - you legend! Thank you.
First one worked. I've waited forever to use USB drives and recently got one and THIS EXACT THING happened today. Why? I saved everything with meticulous attention to what I was doing and then later in the day, HOURS of work gone. Thanks for sharing this.....would have been a huge bummer to lose all that work and start all over.
Accidently deleted footage off my camera. Tried the first and second method didn't really work out. Downloaded the data recovery software and it worked. Thank you
Just downloaded the disk drill and it's awesome watching my files come back. Thank you. I recently purchased a 2 tb USB HP from Lazada and noticed someone else had made the comment about having this issue. Looks like they were right and will try to let them know in a customer review to check out this video.

OMG I was in an accident and the Tesla cam appeared to overwrite a saved Dashcam footage. I was able to recover the video by following your video. I think every Tesla owner should know about app. Thank you so much!
Thanks! This happened to me a few days ago. When I was gonna work on some files, I noticed that my USB memory seemed to have cleansed itself of all the containing files. I panicked and started to look for solutions online and found this video. For me, it was Disk Drill that worked. Although some files were unrestorable, I managed to get some of the most important files back. Unfortunately, the second tip didn't help at all since the USB history had been inactivated all the time. From now on, I'm also gonna store files on Google Drive. That way, I have double guarantee just in case something like this would happen again.
Really helped! Option 1 worked - we were quite terrified when the data got lost. I could tell it was still on the USB because the space on the drive was occupied but had no way of accessing the files. Thanks for the tip 👍🏾
You are a life saver. I was so mad at myself and almost threw away the flash drive. Your tutorial save my family pictures from 2006 all the way to now 2020. I want to thank you so much !!!!!!!!
Used my USB and then it said it needed to be reformatted. I tried the USB in 4 different desktop PC's and a laptop and all of them indicated the USB needed to be reformatted. I was able to successfully restore over 2500 files from the USB upon simply using the chkdsk X:/f. It allowed me to see the content on the USB and save it to my C Drive. 5 months worth of work successfully salvaged! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I know this is from 3 years ago but I think this might have saved me. the only method that seems to be working is the last one from what I'm seeing but the thing is still scanning. I have years of digital artwork I've done saved on that. a grand majority of it was stuff I don't have saved anywhere nor shown to anyone, as its not been posted anywhere either. Over 1k images. I misclicked when deleting a file and accidentally deleted the whole entire folder. I felt like I was about to cry... like I lost YEARS of work in the matter of a second... I hope this works, and like I said its already looking like it might... thank you... I'm so so happy this video exists I can't stress that enough
What about the files that I permanently deleted? What method should I use? Will I still retrieve it? Thanks for the quick answer. I am crying for help right now. I deleted all my whole files for Quarter for my students modules 😭😭😭

Thank you so much! I've been probing the internet for files recovery from my pendrive that suddenly turned RAW format. Nothing worked until I've seen your video! Literally the first command is all it took. Not some shady recovery websites/softwares. Kudos a thousand times to you!
Formatted wrong thumb drive by accident. Luckily it was the quick-format. I downloaded the Disk Drill software and paid the $89 (ouch) and it restored the 14gb of files. Thanks for the video.
How do we clean out the drive we just recovered from so we can use it again? Nothing was wrong with my USB drive. It was me. I was the problem. In an attempt to organize my files, I deleted all of them. 🤣😂
Hello, you can format the drive to use it again. Is that what you meant? Or do you want to make sure that data is properly removed for no one else to find it?
So far, so good. You may have made my day much better. I'm still a little shell shocked from my deletion experience. I'll get back to you, again, in a couple of weeks.

Thank you so much. Lost three excel files last night. Would have taken at least a week to update everything again (Was dreading that!) Recovered the reconstructed file through Diskdrill. That feeling of relief though!! Thanks again
Thank you so much for your direction about how to recover files. I was entirely successful with Disk Drill and I can breathe again. Much appreciation. Wishing you the best!
Thank you so so much for this video. My friend had lost all her files from the flash drive for school and using the last step was able to retrieve everything. So thank you again for this video because she would have had a panic attack if she couldn't retrieve them.
Hi thanks for the infos ! quick question still : what can you do when you're USB drive is connected to your computer - detected by it but cannot enter it and can't be detected by any recovery software ? when executing cdx I had this message : "cannot open volume for direct access" Thanks !
Thank you so much, this really really helped me recover all my files. Method 3 was the homerun for me and it felt totally safe and felt secure, and it DEFS worked. Thank you so so much
Disk Drill is not downloading / installing to my computer. It keeps saying "Setup Failed" now what do i do?? I've tried everything, and nothing has worked!! I'm pulling my hair out!!! I keep getting a message asking me format my usb. Just this morning all my files were there, and now their not! I have not formatted the usb because I'm afraid the files will be gone forever. My usb flash drive is corrupted! How do I get my files back?
Thank you so much! This worked. I wanted to have a old certificate I had on my old USB but I couldn't get to it. Thanks to this i found it! Saved me a lot of time in the future, great work.
Thank you so much!!! I lost a batch of photos that were saved on my USB from my backpacking trip. I thought they were lost forever but I tried the first method in your video and I have them back again! I cant thank you enough!!!
OMG! you are an absolute LEGEND!!! Recovery method 3 worked for me. You're seriously a lifesaver. I wish I could hug you right now!! thank you so much!!!
so it says there are hidden files, but they wont come out, ive tried the "pay for restoring stuff" to test and see if there is anything there and everything says its there but its not coming out, am i unable to do it through cmd ?! i never had the "history" option turned on so i never really had that option. but yeah !

Please I want to ask if it is possible to use this method in this scenario... I lost my data on a flash drive while using it on a laptop, can i recover those data while using another laptop to try and recover them? Thanks
Hello, you might be able to do so, but we strongly suggest that you do it on the same laptop, as sometimes the trash can or recycle bin are only located on the laptop where the erasure happened. You can try Disk Drill for free as well!
@@cleverfileshelp2132 hey, I used disk drill. Very easy but I can't afford the premium. Is it possible when using the cmd method to retrieve .NEF files without having to dismount the drive. Because my laptop says I should dismount as the volume is being used.. I'm confused
@@potatopotatoeOG Hi there! Happy to help! If you unmount the USB, no files can be retrieved. We recommend that you follow the instructions described in the video. For your convenience, we've pasted them below: Solution #1: Restore Deleted Files from USB Drive Using CMD 1. Connect the USB flash drive to your computer. 2. Open the Start menu, type "cmd", and hit Enter on your keyboard. 3. Type "chkdsk X: /f" in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter. Just make sure to replace “X” with the letter assigned to your USB flash drive.recover deleted files from flash drive without software 4. Finally, type "ATTRIB -H -R -S /S /D X:*.*" and hit the Enter key (Again, replace “X” with the drive letter of the USB drive).recover deleted files from flash drive 5. Wait for the process to be completed.
OMG OMG I can’t thank you enough…it recovers all my data I lost …some of it I could open easily which was important, other chk files I couldn’t didn’t know how But none the less your a remarkable person helping us for free with our selling any software xx
So after I ran all these methods (disk drill was taking too long, so I assumed it'd be faster if I just recovered the files manually) All my USB drives weren't letting me: make new folders, save new files onto anywhere on them etc. and I thought I couldn't revert them back, obviously something in this video messed them up as they were working perfectly fine before. Took me an hour but I realised the reason for this (I did close disk drill with the x button) was disk drill was still running in the background without me even wanting it to. So I had to go into task manager to delete it and now everything is working fine, but this did waste 1 hour of my life.
on disk drill it says its gonna take 54 hours, is it because the usb storage is 2T? im really hoping this works because i have years worth of guitar recordings that show my progress since the very beginning. also just videos of festivals i went to with my dad to see bands that wont be playing much longer since they are old af now... im not even too bothered by the videos lost, whats bothering me is that my dad is so proud of my progress in music and loves the idea of recording stuff, theres also recordings of me and him playing together so i just feel guilty that I lost it all :( memories ill most likely never see again... im disappointed in myself
OMG DUDE THE THIRD STEP I CANNOT BELIEVE IT THE THIRD STEP GOT MY FILES BACK THE FIRST AND SECOND ONE DID NOT HELP BUT THE THIRD ONE HELPED ME SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH YOU EARNED A SUBSRIBER AND I WILL KEEP THE APP YOU HAD IN THE DESCRIPTION!
Wow thank you so much for this tutorial. I recovered my file via Disk Drill from my USB. You see while i was working the excel froze so i ended the program creating recovery files. I saved new files while deleted the old files so as not to confuse it with the recovery file. While doing so i accidentally deleted a file which i shouldnt. I was on the brink of giving up onto my last attempt . Thanks heaps! which reminds me btw that i should back up often.
Wow, so glad I found your video. 2021 and you saved the day for me. My Thumb Drive just quit working had my accounting backup on it. Disk Dril was able to recover my data. Would have had to recreate an entire year. Thank you!!!!
What if it says folder empty? Everything copied successfully and then boom folders empty. I didn’t do anything, didn’t remove the drive, delete or touch it. Just vanished. But then I check the drive and it says 42GB of 998GB consumed.... I bought the drive from amazon 2 days ago for $20 and it the direction were written in Chinese. I’m so confused. It’s brand new and files gone!!!

God will bless you for the good work youre doing here
I accidentally deleted my childrens baby pictures and had a full on melt down!!!! This saved them!!! Thank you so so so much! I know you weren’t doing me a specific favor but my gawd….. that would have been devastating! It was devastating for a bit…. 😅
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I've been probing the internet for files recovery from my pendrive that suddenly turned RAW format. Nothing worked until I've seen your video! Literally the first command is all it took. Not some shady recovery websites/softwares. Kudos a thousand times to you!
Happy to hear that! Thank you for the shout-out!
Formatted wrong thumb drive by accident. Luckily it was the quick-format. I downloaded the Disk Drill software and paid the $89 (ouch) and it restored the 14gb of files. Thanks for the video.
great to hear that you were able to recover your important files with Disk Drill!
How do we clean out the drive we just recovered from so we can use it again? Nothing was wrong with my USB drive. It was me. I was the problem. In an attempt to organize my files, I deleted all of them. 🤣😂
Hello, you can format the drive to use it again. Is that what you meant? Or do you want to make sure that data is properly removed for no one else to find it?
So far, so good. You may have made my day much better. I'm still a little shell shocked from my deletion experience. I'll get back to you, again, in a couple of weeks.
Glad we could help!
YOU'RE A LEGENDDDD
Whoa. It works. I was so worried that i will never be able to get my data back. But thank u so much. U r a lifesaver.

Happy to hear that! Thank you for the shout-out!
Hi
thanks for the infos ! quick question still : what can you do when you're USB drive is connected to your computer - detected by it but cannot enter it and can't be detected by any recovery software ?
when executing cdx I had this message : "cannot open volume for direct access"
Thanks !
Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance.

Disk Drill is not downloading / installing to my computer. It keeps saying "Setup Failed" now what do i do?? I've tried everything, and nothing has worked!! I'm pulling my hair out!!! I keep getting a message asking me format my usb. Just this morning all my files were there, and now their not! I have not formatted the usb because I'm afraid the files will be gone forever. My usb flash drive is corrupted! How do I get my files back?
you're a lifesaver!! i got my files from my study abroad accidentally formatted and the third method worked 🎉 thank you 😭
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! This worked. I wanted to have a old certificate I had on my old USB but I couldn't get to it. Thanks to this i found it! Saved me a lot of time in the future, great work.

Thank you bro , you saved my life: Lost 3 months of work and then recovered it using this. much love!
Glad it helped
After that second command go to the USB drive again and see the folder stars with "G" and boom here what you lost....😍😍😍💯❣️ It worked for me.
Thanks for sharing
Please I want to ask if it is possible to use this method in this scenario... I lost my data on a flash drive while using it on a laptop, can i recover those data while using another laptop to try and recover them?
Thanks
Hello, you might be able to do so, but we strongly suggest that you do it on the same laptop, as sometimes the trash can or recycle bin are only located on the laptop where the erasure happened. You can try Disk Drill for free as well!
@@cleverfileshelp2132 hey, I used disk drill. Very easy but I can't afford the premium. Is it possible when using the cmd method to retrieve .NEF files without having to dismount the drive. Because my laptop says I should dismount as the volume is being used.. I'm confused
@@potatopotatoeOG Hi there! Happy to help! If you unmount the USB, no files can be retrieved. We recommend that you follow the instructions described in the video. For your convenience, we've pasted them below:
Solution #1: Restore Deleted Files from USB Drive Using CMD
1. Connect the USB flash drive to your computer.
2. Open the Start menu, type "cmd", and hit Enter on your keyboard.
3. Type "chkdsk X: /f" in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter. Just make sure to replace “X” with the letter assigned to your USB flash drive.recover deleted files from flash drive without software
4. Finally, type "ATTRIB -H -R -S /S /D X:*.*" and hit the Enter key (Again, replace “X” with the drive letter of the USB drive).recover deleted files from flash drive
5. Wait for the process to be completed.
OMG OMG I can’t thank you enough…it recovers all my data I lost …some of it I could open easily which was important, other chk files I couldn’t didn’t know how
But none the less your a remarkable person helping us for free with our selling any software xx
Disk Drill Worked perfectly for me. Thank you Brother
Glad it helped
So after I ran all these methods (disk drill was taking too long, so I assumed it'd be faster if I just recovered the files manually) All my USB drives weren't letting me: make new folders, save new files onto anywhere on them etc. and I thought I couldn't revert them back, obviously something in this video messed them up as they were working perfectly fine before. Took me an hour but I realised the reason for this (I did close disk drill with the x button) was disk drill was still running in the background without me even wanting it to. So I had to go into task manager to delete it and now everything is working fine, but this did waste 1 hour of my life.
Thank you so much for the video! the first method really recovered my data files from my usb in no time!!!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much! This really helped me, I lost my project and now I recovered it.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for the shout-out!
on disk drill it says its gonna take 54 hours, is it because the usb storage is 2T? im really hoping this works because i have years worth of guitar recordings that show my progress since the very beginning. also just videos of festivals i went to with my dad to see bands that wont be playing much longer since they are old af now... im not even too bothered by the videos lost, whats bothering me is that my dad is so proud of my progress in music and loves the idea of recording stuff, theres also recordings of me and him playing together so i just feel guilty that I lost it all :( memories ill most likely never see again... im disappointed in myself

OMG DUDE THE THIRD STEP I CANNOT BELIEVE IT THE THIRD STEP GOT MY FILES BACK THE FIRST AND SECOND ONE DID NOT HELP BUT THE THIRD ONE HELPED ME SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH YOU EARNED A SUBSRIBER AND I WILL KEEP THE APP YOU HAD IN THE DESCRIPTION!
Wow thank you so much for this tutorial. I recovered my file via Disk Drill from my USB. You see while i was working the excel froze so i ended the program creating recovery files. I saved new files while deleted the old files so as not to confuse it with the recovery file. While doing so i accidentally deleted a file which i shouldnt. I was on the brink of giving up onto my last attempt . Thanks heaps! which reminds me btw that i should back up often.
Hi Frances, glad we could help you! Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you sooooo much for this video because it literally saved my life. Thank you! I don't know what else to say.
Wow, so glad I found your video. 2021 and you saved the day for me. My Thumb Drive just quit working had my accounting backup on it. Disk Dril was able to recover my data. Would have had to recreate an entire year. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your knowledge, i cannot express how much you have helped today
What if it says folder empty?
Everything copied successfully and then boom folders empty.
I didn’t do anything, didn’t remove the drive, delete or touch it. Just vanished.
But then I check the drive and it says 42GB of 998GB consumed....
I bought the drive from amazon 2 days ago for $20 and it the direction were written in Chinese. I’m so confused. It’s brand new and files gone!!!
Sorry to hear about that. We're happy to investigate this further. Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com
