HI Anna Marie,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your files.
I stay away from SD cards.
As Mike said, and I'm firmly in agreement with him on this one, SD cards
can go bad, and many do. I've heard of people that lost files, because
their card went bad.
I use a thumb drive, and I've never had one go bad.
There is suppose to be out now, an SD card that lasts for 100 years.
I don't know how realistic that is.

I am guessing that the card has gone bad
and should be replaced.
Personally, I view such cards as temporary
storage because I have seen
(and heard others report) cards can and do go
awry. They are so
inexpensive that they are literally true throw
away technology.
Unless you have something on that card that is
irreplacible, I wouldn't
waste my time further on this. The only
other thing that might have
happened, and this is a true longshot, is that
show someway you made the
files hidden. Trying to copy those
directories from the card to your hd
or an external hd might show those
files -- but then again it might not if
they still exist.
What are the
byte counts of the folders on the card as shown now; do they
appear as
empty by those counts or as if something might actually be
there?
To place ourselves in range of God's choicest
gifts, we have to walk with God, work
with God, lean on God, cling to God,
come to have the sense and feel of God, refer
all things to
God.
