My Files turn into folder
Hello. I am running Windwos 10 for almost 2 years now.
I have 2 external Hard Drives and a lot of files on these drives appear as folders. I cannot view them, delete them, copy them or do anything else.
Windows produce a "... is not accessible. The directory name is invalid" warning.
- This happens only to external Drives. My internal hard files seem OK.
- This does NOT happen to specific file types. It happens to .srt files, any kind of video files as well as any kind of image files.
- It turns out that files are NOT corrupted. Using IObit Unlocker, I can unlock and copy my files to another path and they seem OK. But I can do it only one file at a time.
I noticed that there is another guy with the same problem in your forum but there was no solution proposed.

Can you please help?
