HELP! I HAVE MISSED AN ENTIRE FOLDER OF SEVERAL HUNDRED GIGABYTES OF ONLINE LESSONS

Copper Contributor

After purchasing a new computer and after I worked with external hard drives to transfer information, I did not immediately notice, after about a month, a very large folder with educational materials, online lessons, and recordings, which I had collected for many years, disappeared. After about 1.5 months, I decided to take the course again, and discovered that it simply wasn’t there! he disappeared!!!! help me please!!!! what to do !!! nightmare!!! These materials are very dear to me!!! This can be done by Windows Defender, which indiscriminately deletes everything it considers necessary... a nightmare!!! it's just awful!!! this is theft!!!! Help!!!

If Defender " indiscriminately deletes everything it considers necessary [sic]" why do you have it running? Copy the files from your external hard drives and proceed with whatever it was you were trying to view.
