Hi everyone,
I have accidentally (almost) deleted a folder with around 30GB of photos. Somehow I managed to cancel the process as soon as it started.
Now the size of the folder seems to be the same, I can see all photo files in it,
BUT when I try to open a photo, it says the file can't be opened.
Moreover, the photo sizes are still consistent (around 4MB each).
What shall I do? These files are pretty important, I was wondering if there is a way to recover them...
 
Solution
First, if any data is important, make backups of it on another hard drive.

About recovering them, that may be iffy if the structure of the files was damaged. You can try PhotoRec and see if it will find anything to fix.
