Plugin deleted all my movies (1 Viewer)

Unfortunately, this is true. I have enabled option to delete the movie from inside MP, and it works fine, no problems until today when I deleted the movie I watched but it was not in a folder like others, but just the .mkv in specified movies folder and when I deleted it, well, 200+gigs gone... it deleted the ENTIRE FOLDER. now I'm trying to recover at least some of it.
Good thing I keep my best of collection on separate drive...
Just so u know and u can test it and fix it...
Love the plugin though...

You can 'undelete' it easy if there has not been many write activities to the drive.

My favorite tool = http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

Undelete guide for NTFS @ http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Undelete_files_from_NTFS_with_TestDisk

For best undelete results have the ability to store the recovered data to another drive, because it can happen that to undelete File #1 it overwrites entries occupied by File #2, which would then ruin your abilities to undelete those.

It all depends how the delete action took place, as normally Windows OS only deletes the reference to the file and not the file itself. It is more in the case of when the file is deleted itself that TestDisk works best when you empty space on another drive to recover. But I've recovered many deleted files as-is without that precaution for friends, just be forewarned
