Why did you delete all your files if you didn't get them back yet?
When writing "wiped my SD card clean" I was referring to the original loss. So basically, as soon as you insert a disc with new GoPro files in it, the app will launch and automatically (if set) import all the new media. Once the import is done you have the option of deleting the newly imported files from the SD to make room for more. Which is what I did, without checking to make sure I actually have them in the computer. Afterward I realized that they weren't appearing in the desktop app, so I panicked, asked, attempted to recover, failed, recovered, and then found that they actually had originally imported, they were just hidden in some file.
