I got a photo folder in my partition E:\temp\photos, there are 2 subfolders
e:\temp\photos\2005
e:\temp\phots\2006

In Windows Explorer,
I created another folder e:\Family,
then drag the 2 folders
e:\temp\photos\2005
e:\temp\phots\2006
to
e:\Family\photos

I then deleted the e:\temp\photos

However, when I tried to open the folder e:\Family\photos I got an error
e:\Family\photos is not accessible. Access denied.

It seems my photos are gone, I cannot get it back.

I think I might deleted the e:\temp\photos before they were completely moved
to e:\Family\photos.

Is it possible to get my photos back.

Many thanks.

If the folders are not in the recycle bin then have a look at PC
Inspector File Recovery from
http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm
 
I found the deleted folder in the recycle bin and restored to see if the
photo folders are in.
But no luck.

It seems my photo folders are already moved to my new family folder.
Sorry, I should have the folders:

e:\Family\photos\2005
e:\Family\photos\2006

When I select 2005 and 2006 folder I got the "Access denied" error. So these
2 folders are in my family foler.

See if takeing ownership of the folders helps.
