    Unplugged USB cable mid-transfer. Now whole phone content is deleted?

    Hi everyone, While copying a few GBs of music into my phone it got stuck, so I plugged it out. Now it seems like the whole phone content was deleted. My guess though is that it's not deleted but my access to the sd card is blocked. How can we affirm that? And fix it? Thanks.
