Hello,
the problem is I plugin usb flash stick Transcend JF V60 16GB (with images ,doc..itc)
after copying a few files I decide to defrag and started MyDefrag click on usb 16GB
but I forgot and instead script for "flash memory disk" choise  remain on "consolidate free space"
which I use for HDD.
The free space was 2.5GB from 16GB.
After that I opened flash and suprise no my files few directory and files which are there but in Febr. than
I formated flash and put this.
But computer shows same free space 2.5GB , so the directory and files are here but how to rebuild that I can see them.

Thank beforehand,
Asha

If I've understood you correctly, you have copied new files to the USB stick, then ran MyDefrag, and after that the new files were gone? Did you check if the new files were really there, before running MyDefrag? MyDefrag only moves files on the volume itself, it does not delete anything. See How safe is MyDefrag?.

If the used space of the stick is shown as full, but there are almost no files present, try checking the stick with Windows Checkdisk (you can find it in the properties of the drive).

An other thing may be that these files somehow got a "Hidden" or "System" attribute and the Explorer is (by default) configured to not show these files. You can make the Explorer display these files but it depends on your Windows version how to do that.

That does not matter. MyDefrag cannot possibly damage the data on your flash memory disk, whatever script you run.

Perhaps you cannot see the files because you are logged in on a different userid. Also check the recycle bin, maybe you accidentally deleted the files yourself and they are now in the bin.
