Hello,
I was manually sorting and moving photos from my Lumia 930 to hard drive when this happened. I sorted photos by size to separate pro pics from highres pics. I marked pro pics (made sure I only marked pro pics, so no accidental removal happened) and deleted them from the phone while connected to the PC. What remained was the exact same number of highres photos. I sorted the remainder by date and tried to move them but... "unknown error" returned. I unplugged the phone, plugged it back in only to discover that all the photos had been deleted. Obviously, none of them were backed up. Looks like my command was misinterpreted by one of the devices. I understand there's nothing that can be done now, except for dubious specialist data recovery.
Why did that happen?
Looking forward to hearing any explanation,
Adam
