Drive shows as half full but as empty when opened.

Hi all

In almost 20 years of computer usage I'm not sure I've ever come across this before but I really hope someone here has.

I have a Crucial MX500GB SSD that is half full of audio data, it shows as being half full as indicated by the blue line.

When I open it up in explorer I'm told the folder is empty.  I only just realised when I opened a couple of projects and got a warning about missing data.

This is really weird and really stressful. 😞

Have uploaded an image below.

Suggestions; Run a "scan disk" on that drive to see if there are any erros. Un-hide all files, maybe they are hidden, system, swap file on that drive.

Unbelievable, I was going to do this earlier and windows said, there was no need to run a disk check as there were no reported errors so I didn't bother.

This time I ran it regardless, took about 4 seconds and I got a message saying, 'your drive has been repaired' and now I can access everything on there.

A thousand thankyous. 🙂
