Click "Scan" and let EaseUS data recovery software scan all lost data and files on the selected hard drive. When the scan completes, you can apply the "Filter" feature or click the "Search files or folders" button to find the lost files on the hard drive. There might be a chance that your computer files are just invisible, hidden silently. You should check for hidden files and folders.
Step 2: Click "View". You may not believe that sometimes Windows 10 update creates a new user account, which is set as the default account. Since you didn't notice the account difference, the strange thing happens: "computer files suddenly disappeared", "all my files are gone" There you should find your old user account. Your files can also get disappeared if your hard drive gets corrupted.
You must check your hard drive to fix it:. Step 3: Check Disk Options dialog will show up and select any one of the following options to check and repair hard disk.
Step 4: Select and check both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of back sectors", then click "Start". In another case, your files are likely to change location while the file disappeared from the computer happens. Have you made a backup plan for your PC? If you have backed up your important files, go and check your backup folders to find the missing files and folders.
If it's the other way around, you may need to read other methods. Actually, I should take some time and move those files into more appropriate folders. Since my old Win 7 machines run with a standard user for everyone and an admin user for me, downloading a file while logged in as admin made it difficult for other users, either on the machine or on the network, to find these files.
Problem solved! I believe it to be number 1 on the list above. But whatever or wherever it is located, I have never lost a file that I downloaded.
And, as Leo suggests, if it is an important download, I move it to a separate, distinct folder and back it up! Makes typing these entries into various open and save dialog boxes MUCH easier. Some programs have their own default Downloads folder which is can be changed inside the program. You can move the Downloads or any folder using Windows File Explorer.
This article explains how to move the My Documents folder but it works for any folder. I moved Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, and Videos inside the OneDrive folder so all my personal files are synchronized on the cloud and are on all of my computers.
I have two Download folders. Other files in my Download folders are installation files for various programs. Never know if I might need or want it.
Everything else I download goes into the appropriate folder. When I set up a new machine, I can often bring over the dozens of programs that the old one used; and in some cases I can use the same setup files used in the original machine. Image backups are pretty big, and sooner or later you run out of space for the old ones…. Eventually you do, yes, but you get to choose how large a window of recoverability you want or need.
This may seem simplistic but I have never deleted any downloads. I was never sure what to delete. Any ideas on how to proceed? Some you might keep move to a different folder others you might delete. Most browsers, as lew b noted, most browsers have a setting for where to download files, and even to ask where to download them. I have the same problem but with my mobile.

It's far from perfect, partly because today's advanced disk technology makes data-recovery more difficult than it was with the simpler technology of the past. It comes with a selection of advanced features, including partition recovery, formatted drive restoration, and corrupted file repair.

I was able to restore a few icons with system restore Windows , but it was otherwise unsuccessful. Needless to say, I am a bit desperate for a solution to restore all files and functionality. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello there alanack , I'm sorry to hear about that! Just to clarify, when you uninstalled the app, did you also remove the local Dropbox folder? If not, do you have a folder inside called "My PC device name " with the files you're looking for? Daphne Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. Did this post help you? If so, please give it a Like below.
Still stuck? Ask me a question! I still have that folder on my PC. I should also add that I just reinstalled Dropbox in the hopes of getting things working again. Thanks for your help! I've looked inside this folder. The Desktop seems complete, the Documents is definitely missing many files and folders, and the Downloads is empty. Thanks for getting back to me here alanack! Since you reinstalled the app, the backup feature should now be disabled.
Can you please try moving the content from the backup folder in Dropbox back to the original locations on your computer? Thanks, Daphne.
