Tried to move a folder and it delete files on disk

I tried to move a folder to another folder in LR CC, and coincidentally, I moved it again in the same folder (which means that I had two simultaneous operations happening now doing the same thing). I got an error (error code lost) and the file is now gone from my hard drive. I checked everywhere – each folder on the hard disk, the Recycle Bin, etc. Is there any hope for these files?

Did you use your operating system to search for photos by file name?

If you did, and research based on the operating system is unable to find the pictures, then you probably have been bitten by a rare but serious bug in Lightroom, which is described in the response 1 in this thread

Lightroom deletes pictures while moving

For later use, you need to move photos using your OS (not Lightroom) and then reconnect in Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • RoboHelp 8 does not, folder and subfolders deleted

    Hello

    I use Robohelp 8. I had worked on some files Thursday, generated a .chm output and saved the source files and output on the server of our company. My problem is that when I try to open the two files, one on my computer and the server of the company, I get a message to a particular folder and all the subfolders it contains, are absent in the project manager. And I that I have to remove them. However, while trying to open 8 Robohelp, I get a message saying that adobe Robohelp has stopped working. Also, I get a message indicating that a problem has caused the locking system. Windows will notify if a solution is available.

    As far as I know that I have not worked on Robohelp since Thursday, 28 Oct. I have not deleted all files (same one that Robohelp now inidcates are missing).

    Any help or advice on what could have gone wrong, will be really appreciated.

    Thank you

  • I get a message saying startup disk is almost full and to delete files. How can I go about it?

    I have a macbook air and a message comes up saying that my boot drive is almost full and delete files to make more space. What files and where? Thank you.

    Buy an external hard drive if you do not already have one and migrate personal files, things like documents, music, photos, videos, stuff like that.  Once they are on the external hard drive, delete them from your computer.  You would remove them the same way you would remove any other thing - click it, right-click, select "Move to trash."  Delete nothing however, until you have moved to an external drive.  If you don't save a copy somewhere, once you remove them, it's over and you can't get it back.

    To understand what that other things that can be deleted are go up --> about this Mac--> storage.  This will tell you how many you have on your hard drive right now.  Post here a screenshot of it.

  • Hack and download deleted files.

    Firstly - I don't know anything about apple products, but a few years back we were at a party where my son was charged to hack an iPad to friends and download of deleted files. My son is said to have picked up his iPad and clicked the button image on his screen locked and watched a slide show.

    But they were pretty adamant that he hacked in and downloaded its deleted pictures because she removed the image that he could see. He also repeated that they could see pictures deleted! They have nothing serious, she took a few pictures of pimples on the face and apparently they made fun of her and she got very angry, being 10 or 11 years and they ended up leaving the group.

    Things kind of has taken a turn for the worse when the friend's brother went behind my son to school has grabbed by the shoulders spun around him and he was slammed into a locker and yelled to leave his sister alone. Well, my wife was quite upset and things came and went for a bit and we pretty much no more.

    So in the end - they looked like, Yes, I disagree with my son doing... but look at what your son. The mother says well enough, was his exact quote "[my son] betrayed [his] confidence to hack his iPad and download its deleted photos!

    Can someone please explain what they're talking about and how was my son able to watch a slideshow on a locked iPad? Can someone also explain how can they see Deleted Photos?

    Sorry for this long post...

    From the sounds of things, your son has no more to start the slideshow on the device function. Maybe the photos they thought had been deleted was not. I vaguely remember the feature which for my part would have stopped. See http://ipadacademy.com/ipad-tip-using-your-ipad-as-a-digital-photo-frame-even-wh en-locked /. From what I understand, it has been deleted in the iOS 7.

  • I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder and all my files disspeared

    I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder on an external hard drive and all my files disappeared after I changed the settings and press ENTER.

    I also made the change not in a folder, but the subfolders. I have many files duplicate on my external hard drive and I noticed that each file said that she had more files that were contained in each file, so I wanted to see what were these hidden files. After you have clicked on enter, each music file and folder just disappeared.

    I searched my pc but can't find these files. I got more than $ 100 of music who has simply disappeared.

    What can I do b/call, the music were in a separate folder, and there were more than 50 files with hundreds of songs. I mean how to do a cover for it?

    Return to the folder options and use the "Restore default settings" button to change all the options back how they were, and see if it helps.

    You can also try to use the drive in another computer, if you think that the configuration of your computer could be the problem.

  • Can I delete files from disk that I removed just to LR by mistake?

    Hi, this is a really stupid mistake.

    I just deleted 100s of raw files from lightroom, useless stuff that I should have deleted at the time but that he was too lazy to do. I now try to purge all the waste and it takes me days (that's for the past 3 years or so).

    This morning I just deleted several hundred images I went to empty the trash and it's already empty, and it's only then that I realise I was just delete files from Lightroom and not from the diskette. It is several hours of work, is it possible that I can identify now in the folder from the finder that images aren't in the LR, because these are the ones I want to get rid of for good. I don't want to keep them there taking up valuable memory space or restore them in LR and have to do it all again. Help!

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Emma,

    I would do the following:

    1. YOUR CATALOG BACKUP
    2. Synchronize folders in question (perhaps on the record higher level parent)
      -Uncheck the box 'Search the metadata updated' when syncing
      -Select "import new photos" when syncing
    3. Remove photos ("remove disk") just imported by Synchronize to in LR (from the view "Previous import") after each import (if more than one folder)

    This should remove all images not previously in your catalog, but in your file (s).
