Unfortunately, your issue is a common one and the proper procedure is to "copy" and "paste", not "cut" and "paste", until you're sure the file has made it over to its intended location. Most of the time, cut and paste works as intended but we've seen "cut" files simply disappear.. That is unless you've got a backup of the original already saved to another location. Once the original file is "cut" it frequently is simply gone.

That said, there are recovery programs such as Recuva (free) or EasyUS data recovery which might be able to find and recover the file.. Give them a shot if you'd like.

Hope this helps.
