Hi everyone.

I was using FreeFileSync to sync data between two folders on different drives (both NTFS).

However, I messed up with the left and right sides, making it deleting my files. Realising my mistake, I immediately pressed "Stop". Looking back into the logs, it says "Moving folder 'Photo' to the recycle bin", etc.

I checked my Recycle Bin on both drives, and couldn't find the photos. I tried using Recuva, most of the stuff was found in "D:\RecycleBin~ff29.ffs_tmp" but were in an unrecoverable state.

Yes I know I am so stupid. Any ideas how can I get my photos back.

Thanks everyone.

OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64 bit)
Drive: WD Blue 2TB (WD20EZAZ) (NTFS) (D:\)
Files Deleted by: FreeFileSync 14.0
Recovery Effort: Recuva 1.54.120

I have encountered the same problem, after using the recovery software to recover the deleted files, but all the files are damaged, what should I do? May I ask if you have solved it? If you have solved it or others can solve it, please let me know, I can pay for it, thank you
