For $75 and depending on how important those files are, you might try recovery. It may yield nothing but it is low cost.
Thumb drives definitely fail... always need to have a backup.?

In my experience, they are trashed at this point. Have tried everything to fix them and can¡¯t (short of third party software). Because of this, I purchased a business account with Dropbox and everything is in the cloud (with local files
for files I use regularly). DB backs up regularly. Important files also get backed up to OneDrive (cloud ¨C free ¨C comes with Windows). Basically, I don¡¯t use thumb drives, and my desktop and laptop are basically just dummy terminals now (except for the software
they have ¨C which DB can also provide for a fee). Sorry to hear.

LNC Group,

Hopefully I can get some guidance.

I have a thumb drive that I have used for years with files on it.? When I try and use today it tells me to format the thumb drive¡ I know doing this will delete this existing files.? A local computer guy told me he would charge $75 to try
and recover¡but some files are personal info I do not want to take a chance with.
?
Anyone else have this issue and resolved it?? There are 3rd party software¡¯s listed on internet, but I am concerned about using a ?program that is unknown to me.
