About 3 days ago, I created a folder on my desktop, and saved a few pictures and a couple text files to it.
Today, I was browsing the internet and noticed my desktop flash, as if I had just refreshed it. It took me awhile to notice the difference, but after a few seconds I noticed that my folder no longer showed a preview of the files inside it and instead just showed the default folder icon. I clicked on it, and all the files were gone!
I looked at its properties and strangely enough, Windows said the folder had just been created 1 minute ago. It's as if the folder just deleted itself, and then remade itself but without its contents.
I ran Recuva and Undelete and neither had any record of files on the desktop being deleted. It's almost as if this folder never existed, and the files weren't deleted, they were just completely removed.
I'm not too concerned about recovering the files because they weren't that important, but I would like to know what caused this. Could this be an indication that my drive is about to fail? It's an Intel SSD, about 2 years old, no errors showing in HD Tune, and everything else appears to be running fine.
