Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

What is the file type of the gibberish files?
One ends with a period and no extension.
.76═
.î]w
.f$
.amε
and two folders that I can't open (I get an error The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.)

Looks like photorec got all except around 40. BH! Is there any reason to think that another recovery tool would find the rest?

Always worth trying a different one, as sometimes they have different methods. Try Disk Drill,  ReclaimMe, DMDE, All have free trials/preview.
