So I decided to clean up my desktop by removing shortcuts and putting them in the recycle bin. Then I came to my personal pictures folders titled "Good Pics". It was a shortcut so I decided to trash it. And then I found the original "Good Pics" and tried putting it on my taskbar. When it had been placed, I noticed that many of my files were missing. I assumed that they had been left in the recycle bin, but they weren't there. I found the other shortcuts, but they didn't have them either.

I already tried restoring my computer, downloading multiple restoring products and I even did a complete search for such files that had gone missing.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Backup, regularly.
