      The hard disk is traditional only not SSD.
      There is no time delay when I opened the folder for the first time

        No time delay, but nothing appears.... That's why I'm wondering if just showing the contents is taking a while.

          Instead of Windows Explorer, can you see things doing a dir from the command line?

              Well, your results aren't good. Looks like there is nothing there.

              • If you run a search on the root level of the USB for *.* , does anything show up?
              • Did you Cut and Paste the files or Copy and Paste?
                If you cut the files, then forgetting to paste them, copied something else... they are gone 😞

              It's entirely possible that they have been pasted/moved to an unintended location.

                How long did the copy take? Are the files still on the USB drive?

                        Maybe try a copy at the command line instead. Or even use Robocopy.

                                  In your earlier screenshot it was the E drive that was showing as blank. Now you are copying from E to F. Are you sure that you are moving files in the right direction?

                                    Also, as just a matter of good practice, avoid putting spaces in file and folder names. It works but just adds unnecessary complications.

                                        But E is the empty drive. That's not what you were supposed to be testing. Try copying the files again, not the empty folder.
