[Q] HELP! ES File Explorer deleted files when copy/paste failed - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to use ES File Explorer to do a multi-select, then copy, then paste to a drive on my PC across my WiFi network. For each file it said the paste failed...and the files are now GONE from my EVO SD card.
Is there a way to recover these files? Does ES File Explorer move them somewhere when trying to do the copy/paste?

File Sharing between Windows 7 and Evo 4G

I'm trying to use Astro (with SMB Module) to move some files from my phone to my PC. I am able to access the files in my PC using Astro but I cannot copy or move any files. I just want to move a video file from the Evo to my PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help in advance
E strongs file explorer works great for file transfers using the p.hone. Or websharing for accessing and modifying files from your computer remotely.
Also your problem could be your network shares are set to read only without write access.

It's most likely permission issues. You could test using an admin share to confirm.

Yea...use ^ app, to get access to system file folder, ect. Then you can long press to copy, or push the copy button at the top, then push the button to switch to sd card, then just paste.
For those who prefer to do things the fun way, a good terminal emulator should work just a well
root explorer works well as does astro for files being moved, copied, etc.

File explorer

Hello,
If I want to view files on the SD card, from the phone, can this be done from standard Android or do I have to get an app?
If need app suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Hi
In my opinion the best file explorer is ES File Explorer. Check in the market.

[Q] es file explorer deleted my files

So I was trying to move my files from whatever directory they were in to my storage since I had just gone from tw to miui so the directory change mess up thing happened. It would go and overwrite the new empty same name folders but nothing would show up I go back to the directory they were in and everything was gone. Restart my phone and some showed up and managed to transfer only a small portion of my pictures and some other files. My music files and some of other folders I tried transferring again and it would seem like everything went well but they wouldn't show up in my storage folder and it disappeared from the original folder it was in. They got deleted. I had about 3gb of free storage now I have 9. Sigh. So is there anything I can do to recover my files? I'm about ready to toss this phone out the window I've never had problems with es until now.
I know that there are file recovery programs for Windows and macs. You'll need to Google it because I can't remember what it's called.
I think is Recuva.

You can use data recovery tool to recover deleted files from ES file explorer. See this step by step ES file explorer deleted files recovery tutorial.
hope this helps.

File Manager

What is the best file manager, where I can look at all my files on my SD card - and also delete them without connecting up to a PC?
Also trying to delete that stupid Elysium trailer.
What is the best app?
Thanks.

Total Commander, ESFile Explorer and Solid Explorer are amongst best android file explorers.
file manager
root explorer, root access is required, it help u to explore all of file in external/internal memory and ex-sdcard
it can work fine without root access but cant del file in internal memory. it work fast than every file explorer but ui is very simple
ESFile Explorer for me, rooted required.
Tried Astro and ES Explorer.
ES is much better, perfect. It lets me delete stuff, and is very slick. Also, no adverts (that I seen) unlike Astro.
Thanks.
I can not miss the opportunity to plug Total Commander. The Best file manager for Windows and Android.
The crazy bastards even support Windows 3.11 .
