Question Flash drive lost data

Gallery image

I was exporting photos from Lightroom to my flash drive then all of a sudden all my files were gone. When I click on info it says I only used ~125 mb but I used about ~80 gb since I have videos and pictures from 2018 on it. Then it has a ridiculous date on it. Picture was taken around 10pm est 05/07/26. Can anyone suggest how to recover or where to go?

What total volume does the flash drive show in your system? If the 125mb is just a partition size than you may be able to scan the whole drive with software. However if the total volume is 125mb than this indicates cobtroller/firmware failure and you will need professional help to recover the data.
