I attached my external hard drive to my mac book air. And due to some issue, I had to manually power off my mac and restart. After the restart, I realized that many files in my external hard drive got deleted and mac created two folders inside the hard drive. .Trashes
& .mediaexplorer
. There is no content in the .Trashes
folder. .mediaexplorer
contains following directories.
drwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 4.0K Aug 29 21:53 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 240K Aug 29 21:52 cover
drwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 0B Jan 1 2018 .

-rwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 512K Jan 1 2018 media-wal
-rwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 1.3M Jan 1 2018 media
Inside .mediaexplorer/cover/
all the deleted videos were present in the form of directories.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 userid staff 4.4K Aug 14 19:51 /Volumes/HARD_DRIVE_NAME/.mediaexplorer/cover/VIDEO_NAME_mkv/02_21_42.jpg
Is there any way to recover all these videos? Thanks in advance.
