    Photos and videos from phone transfer not opening


    Hey,

    I'm pretty certain I've screwed up here but hoping someone can help!

    I transferred across all of my photos and videos from my phone a week ago to save up some storage space (long flight, netflix/prime, you get me), or so I thought I did. Only returning to them now does it seem like only a small percentage actually copied across.

    Exhibit 1: The folder my photos are in, the last few showing as working files, the remainder (about 80-90% now showing thumbnails and not opening. The size is 10tb (I certainly don't have a 10tb phone...) but the on file size is much smaller.



    Exhibit 2: All of the non working files have a 'on file disk' size of 4kb, even the videos, but with a size each of 7.35gb.



    I'm guessing they're gone for good but since Windows can see there's supposed to be more data (i.e the big files sizes) I'm hoping there's some magic way to restore them.

    Much appreciation in advance!

    Cheers
