4 Common Data Loss from USB Flash Drive

Data loss is often ignored until it's too late, leaving you helpless as irreplaceable files vanish forever — like 1TB of data worth $10K gone in an instant.

Accidently deleted files from USB flash drive, but found not in recycle bin?
Ejected the USB flash drive without safely removing it?
Mistakenly formatted your USB flash drive, and now it's too late?
Experienced power outage while accessing your USB flash drive?

If you've encountered any of the issues listed above, you may find that your files are no longer visible on the USB flash drive — or in some cases, the drive itself may not even appear in File Explorer.

Other Signs of a Corrupted USB Flash Drive

If your USB flash drive is starting to fail, you might experience unusual or erratic behavior, raising concerns about potential data loss, such as:

"Please insert the disk into the drive" error
"File is not recognized" error
Drive not showing in File Explorer
Prompt to format the drive before use
Shows 0 bytes used and available
File system appears as RAW
Extremely slow read/write speed
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error
Windows cannot complete the format
No drive letter or marked as "Unknown device"

If you begin to notice any of these signs, it's strongly recommended to retrieve all your data to another storage device for safekeeping before attempting any of the solutions found online.

Select the device or drive where you wish to recover your lost data.

Once you've installed the USB flash drive data recovery tool on your computer, launch it and connect your USB flash drive to the computer and select it from the main interface.
