Accidentally pressing "Stream Media" on first connection wiped almost all of my mobile device data
Avoid mixing manual copying and streaming media at the same time. This can cause conflicts. Before performing any risky operations, always back up your data. When using media streaming or backup features, check where files are stored before making any changes.
To be clear, I did not stream media "at the same time" as I was copying data. I did click on stream media but the moment I saw Media Player Legacy pop up I immediately closed the window, but it started to sync my mobile device on the background anyways despite me never prompting or agreeing to do so.
Also, I was one of many who got affected in the Korean SKT data breach scandal, and in the process of ensuring data safety, my cloud backup was gone. I figured that cloud backups were unsafe for my situation so I tried to make a physical backup... and that was the attempt which gave me this outcome.
