File copy fail, now files gone?

[gr3nad3spark]

I was going to make a backup of some files. So i accidentally dragged
the folder i wanted to backup to my flash drive, there wouldn't be a
problem except in the process i watched it say it was copying then it
was done, but it couldn't move the folder the files were all originally
in. It gave me an option to retry and to cancel so i try retry a few
times and didn't work so i canceled. Now the original folder is still
there with nothing in it and nothing is on the flash drive. Is there a
temp folder or something that would still have those files? Thank you

First, your post makes no sense at all - copy or move - which? You can look in the recycle bin I guess, but without knowing exactly what you did it's impossible to say for sure.

I think he is saying that he was trying to copy a file to a place and then the proses did not finish, so he cancel it and then all the data was removed in the file you was trying to copy... and now you are asking if you can get it back.

Right?

I had a folder from my documents and i placed it into the director of my 2gb thumb/flash drive and it said it moved then at the end it said that it couldn't move the folder, but i just watched it move all these files to the drive that are now gone, just because the folder itself wouldn't move.

Can anyone help, i tried about 10 different recovery software programs. Also tryed searching with just the regular search in case it is just in a temp folder. and no luck

use the recovery program on the disk the files were being moved from. I recommend Recuva, personally.
