      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.
