How to recover a folder accedentally deleted in cmd

Weird story:
I noticed two folders were created with the same name. I deleted the empty one. I found I cannot delete a file from the other with files. Checked folder properties – size 0 and the security tab was in red text.
I copied files into another folder and then deleted files with File Explorer. I cannot delete the folder that way.
Ran in cmd del /s /q Youtube Iza , but instead of deleting the folder, the report showed a nonsense file was deleted with the name Youtube.


I don’t know what that file was, but a folder named Youtube disappeared with all the files in it.
Tried to recover files with third-party SW. Done, but the player says “Cannot render file”. Tried with video repair app – “file not contained valid data”
I assume it might be a way to recover the existing folder with the files, instead of extracting data on another drive.
Please help.

You deleted a preset file for youtube rendering output settings.
Just reinstall the program or download the portable version and overwrite the files.

Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't use that program for years (Shortcut - for video edit). I don't need it.

Thank you, gentlemen, for the quick replies and the correct analysis!

Could you help me with the syntax for CMD undelete?
1. In the command line, chkdsk F:/f
2. Press Y until the command line starts again. (Does this require multiple confirmations?)
3. Type F and Enter key.
4. Enter the following command:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d F:\”Youtube”\*.*
5. And it seems all files will be stored on F drive with correct names but extension Chk.


Please help me out!
