Trying to moving some vital files from one folder to another by using Cut-Paste options, I suddenly come across the situation where the machine becomes unresponsive, and files transferring process is halted. To get rid of the disturbing issue, I eventually put an end to such operation. However, when I planned to redo file transferring, I desperately found that originally chosen files are all gone. How it happens? Is there any effective method for cut and paste file retrieval?
 

File Loss during Cutting and Pasting

Windows provides two ways to transfer file. Firstly, users can perform file cut and paste with the help of keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + X” and “Ctrl + V”. Secondly, choose corresponding cut and paste options from drop-down menu after right-clicking chosen file or folder. During file transferring course, many users have encountered file loss issues. Why it happens? What are possible triggering factors?
 
After users cut a file, it is temporarily relocated to a virtual clipboard and then it will be moved a newly specified location after executing paste command. However, any interruptions before completion of transferring files is most likely to cause file to be lost, such as sudden power failure, improper removal of storage media and others. Is it possible to get back those files? Definitely, it is. To successfully perform file recovery, users are supposed to confirm to the following tips:
