You didn't make a backup after copying? Not making a backup generally is interpreted as "no problem if I lose it". So no problem?
System restore is only for system files (and amazingly, sometimes it works), not for your own data. So nothing wrong there.

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I copied a bunch of videos from my phone to my computer in order to save space on my phone. They were quite big videos and were 12GB in total. Everything went fine and they were moved normally, and I was even watching the videos after they were moved.
Today I opened the folder to find a video, only to see that the whole folder which I placed them in has disappeared. I even checked my hard disk space and it was as if the videos were never even copied. All the videos were wiped off my phone because I thought everything was okay. I'm really upset because I really wanted these videos and I don't understand how they can be just completely wiped from my computer without me deleting them purposely.
I tried to go back to a restore point but there wasn't any back up or restore point at that moment.
Can anyone please explain to me what might have happened and if it's possible to restore the videos that I copied?
Thank you
