Vanished file

Post by forthbridge »

Hi Guys

I was moving a file last night from 'D' to an external drive. About 70% through the move, I accidentally clicked 'cancel' - now the file is 'not' in 'D' (the folder is there, but empty) and nothing has been written to the external. All searches have been fruitless. Anyone any ideas?
(Did have a problem like this recently, but found the file after a search)

If you were moving rather than copying, the odds are the file has gone. Always best to copy and then delete the one you don't want.

Cheers Ben - sort of suspected that. Fortunately I've a backup so no issues there. Need to keep away from the copy/move dialog in future!
