folder is empty

If I move, copy or try to transfer data on my disk it seems to do the operation. and I go to A and see the data. I go to propitties on the drive and it shows the disk space used. If I remove the drive and put it again I get empty floder.  What is going on?

You must be very careful - it won't be long until there is NO computer with floppy disks at all - then will tell you how your data?

As disks deteriorate very quickly - your best bet is to have a CDRW open session and place these files on a CD.

  • Broken screen Sony xperia z3, can't access the data via a pc! "this folder is empty".

    So my z3 screen broken (again), and I need to get my information off, more important still, contacts and text messages. I plug in a usb cable to my pc. The phone is in my computer. I open it. There's nothing there. Just the message "this folder is empty".

    I've hidden files defined as visible, I tried 3 different usb cords and reset both devices several times. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    Sorry, just panicking because my whole work is related to this thing. I need to see these text messages as soon as possible.

    Thanks for reading.

    Sorry to hear about your phone

    The folder is empty if the screen is locked on the phone. Can you still see the phones show? If the phone does not work, you can connect a mouse to the phone using an OTG cable and unlock the screen with the mouse.

  • Photo Library "Folder is empty" other than by folder displaying

    I use a new computer with Windows 7 home premium.  I transferred my old photos in the folder "Images". Initially, I could see these pictures by month, day, side, Tag.  Now, I can only see photos by folders as when I select to see the photos of the other class, the message indicates that the folder is empty when I know that it is not.

    I have reset the default libraries by clicking 'Libraries' of windows Explorer and selecting "restore default libraries."  But this has not solved the problem.

    Any help gratefully received.

    I found answers when checking for other Web sites.

    Right-click on the folder and select "share with"-> "Homegroup".
    then select arrange by, it will work.
    at least, mine works.

  • Network Connections folder is empty - Acer Aspire 7750 G running Windows 7 Home Premium

    Here's my problem:

    My "Network connections" folder is empty, even though I am connected to the internet.

    Until I started to have problems, my network icon, in right-hand corner slot of the screan, resembled certain lines (which showed how the connection was). Now, it's just a computer screan with some kind of cable. I don't have a red X or a yellow triangle on it.

    Fortunately, Acer has created what is called "Acer eRecovery. I recommend it to anyone who has this problem, or any other. Basically, this option resets your entire system. Make sure that you back up your important files if, everything you forgot to back up will be gone!
    I'm glad my problem is solved, it was really bothering me for a while.
