Ok, I fear I know the answer to this, but I figured if anyone can save me, they're probably in here.
I recently had to factory reset my phone.
Among the preparations I took was to move certain files out of the secure folder to make sure they didn't get wiped and were still accessible. These files - both when in and out of the secure folder - were on an SD card.
After the restore, they weren't there. The folder was there, but they weren't in there. Which means I likely didn't actually move them when I thought I did. Part of the restore was upgrading my SD card as well, which means the old card has not been written to since this occurred. I've put the old card back in on a whim to see if the new secure folder could see those files, but, as expected, it couldn't.
Is there any way to get those files? Are they even still there if they were bound to the secure folder that got blown away?
If it matters, the folder itself happens to be a hidden folder in general. I don't know that it matters, but I figured I'd mention it.
This is a Samsung Galaxy J7 running Oreo.
Thanks.
