Hi I have 23,000 jpg lost files with files names like this (45496_10151286676933510_472967630_n[1] - Copy) or ( LostFile_JPG_798555952 - Copy ). A lot of the thumbnails show the picture including over 50% corrupted but when opened all you get is a colored square or oblong whatever the picture size was. Many are duplicated. I also have 5000+ which just show Infranview logo which for less than a second shows picture and nothing else. I was told to use a bulk rename program to change it to jpg but that did not work.I tried both Recuver & Find My Files and they both saved the recovered disk files the same way. Also both found over 7 million files on a 1tb drive. Any ideas what I can do to get files back. This is from my late wifes computer so very important also need files for Arbitration case.
