Last week, I found I could not access my USB drive containing massive important files and some personal data. Next, I opened its properties, and found it shows 0 bytes Used space, 0 bytes Free space as well as 0 bytes Capacity.
Now, what should I do since the USB drive shows 0 bytes? I really want to know whether I can recover 0 bytes files in Windows 10/8/7.
Of course, we can.
