I cut and paste approximately 2.5 gb of photos to a usb and then cut and paste 1gb of mp3 files to a different usb while the first process was halfway through. however only half of the photos were in the usb and the other half either disappeared or said they were corrupted or damaged when i tried to open them. the folders are there but there are just no files in them.The mp3 files came out fine. Is there anything i can do to recover my photos? I'm on windows 10. Thanks

update: thanks to everyone that answered! i have successfully recovered most of the photos, however they are all corrupted or damaged. I tried using picture restore software but none of them worked on any of the pictures. is there any hope or ways i can restore the corrupted jpegs?

There is some software that can recover, others will no doubt have suggestions. In the future, use copy and paste, not cut/ paste, as this will leave the original as is, once copied successfully , you can delete the original. the best way to prevent this from ever...
