It has happened again today. About seven folders have disappeared. I was only working on the first two of them but the other five disappeared too.
Why is this happening? What is the matter ? I am especially concerned as I did not even open the five that went also.
What am I doing wrong? Where are they? And how come when this happened before they returned the next day?
Would I be removing the USB stick too quickly?
Thank you in advance.

Are you using a USB key bought online for suspiciously cheap?
