Why have some video files stored on the C drive disappeared in Windows 11?

Some video files stored on the system drive (C:) have disappeared without cause (not manually deleted), while other files remain intact. No abnormal changes in disk space have been detected. Please advise on possible causes and data recovery methods.

    Sudden shutdowns, power failures, or disk errors can corrupt the filesystem, making some files inaccessible or seemingly disappeared.
