You can use the Sysinfo Removable Media Recovery Tool. It is a professional method to recover data from your Pendrive.

I once recovered important files from a corrupted USB using PhotoRec it is free and works well for stubborn cases. Just make sure to recover files to a different drive to avoid overwriting.

Start by trying a different USB port or device to recover data from a corrupt pen drive. The CHKDSK command can be run using the Command Prompt to resolve errors. Should this fail, you may wish to consider using reliable data recovery software, such as Recuva or EaseUS. Avoid formatting the drive unless necessary. If the data is very important, consider professional recovery services to prevent permanent loss.

A little late for you for now but thumb drives are not reliable devices for long term storage. Even though they are similar to SSDs, they use lower quality components that have a much higher failure rate. If you don't have two copies of your backup then you do not have a backup.

I'm so sorry!! Were you able to figure out how to recover your data?

If the pen drive is still detected by your computer, avoid saving new data to it, as that can overwrite recoverable files. Start by checking it for file system errors or creating a disk image before attempting recovery. If the drive is corrupted or unreadable, a reliable data recovery tool may help recover documents, photos, and other important files.
