I have an SSD and a regular HDD in my computer. Earlier, I was uninstalling CAM by NZXT because it wouldn't open. CAM was installed on my HDD. I went to install it again and tried installing it to my HDD again but it wouldn't. I checked out the HDD and noticed all my folders and files, except for two folders, were gone. However, my storage space never changed making me think nothing had been deleted. After doing some research, I found out my files were in a hidden AI_RecycleBin folder, except not everything was in there. There were lots of subfolders, all numbered that had individual files and a few folders in them. I had folders numbered 3 to 9 then 28 to 99, so obviously It didn't show me everything. Doing a recuva scan, it was able to find some files, but not everything making me think not everything is gone, but is simply hidden somehow. A friend told me he had the same issue and simply copy and pasted the whole drive and moved it, getting his files back. This method hasn't been any help. I do have a system restore point from the 4th, before this all happened. Should I try this? I want to make sure I don't mess up any potential options of getting my missing files back by doing that, but will do it if people feel confident enough it could solve the problem.
How else can I try finding the other files not included? Again, the storage space didn't appear to go down indicating that files were deleted. They seem to be hidden.
