My flash drive won't work properly. I can't find my folders anymore.?

There are several probabilities to this...

1. Someone trolled you- deleted all the folders and replaced it with shortcuts.

2. SURELY, it is a virus. I've encountered it once- years ago. It was impossible to solve it so I ended up formatting the drive instead.

Right-click the shortcut and choose open file location. If not, go to properties. It should show up the real original place where the folder had been. Try to select them all and go to properties. Memorize the total file size. Then go to my computer, then check your drive. If the same amount of data shows on the icon, then there is a problem caused by a virus. OR you can just restore them with some file restoration software like the products from iobit. The other problems can be easily solved with the following solution;

ANOTHER SOLUTION:

Go to start

Type in "CMD"

Type your drive letter, like "f:" "g:" "h:". Then type in cmd.exe

attrib -s -r -h -a autorun.inf

Erase /q/s/f autorun.inf attrib -s -r -h -a *.* /d /s

And then eject your flash drive from the computer and push it in again

Recommended to format the drive and install some anti-virus systems bro. Good luck out there! :D FEEL FREE TO MAIL ME IF YOU NEED MORE HELP! ;)

Do a system restore and go back to when you last could open your files
