I have been using the FreeFileSync for many months but after some update I had the following problem: One in more than 32.000 files was not synchronized, I did some wrong adjustment in the settings and for some reason the software deleted most of my files and sent the to the trash can. The files are still in the trash can but none of them in the right folder and it is a night mare to go one by one and put them back into the right folders because I have to open them and relocated them. Do you know of any command in the software that might change this and send the files back to the right folders in the portable hard drive?
Thank you in advance.

Can't you just use the "restore" functionality of Windows Recycle bin and then move the folders out of their respective RecycleBin.ffs_tmp directories once?

Hi Zenju!
Well when I tried to restore the files I did not have that option so I copied them and transferred them to a hard drive but not to the original folders, organized as they should be so I had to check all of them and reorganize them one by one. Is there any other way?
