This morning I went to save an image and although my Pictures directory can be seen, when I click on it, I get the message that the file/directory cannot be found and my 1000's of photos have disappeared. The Trash is also empty.

  • Maybe you accidentally moved the directory some place else? Is this different from your main ~/Pictures directory?

  • this is my main ~/Pictures directory, and I have searched the entire drive for subdirectories and specific file names that I know were in there, and found no trace of them

    Try find ~ -type d -name "Pictures" and if nothing found sudo find / -type d -name "Pictures". This might take a while as it searches through all your folders. Should find your folder if you accidentally moved it somewhere else.

    I have not seen this suggestion yet - Can ou boot from a live USB, and run sudo fsck -f /dev/sda<number> on your partition?

  • Maybe you accidentally moved the directory some place else? Is this different from your main ~/Pictures directory?

  • this is my main ~/Pictures directory, and I have searched the entire drive for subdirectories and specific file names that I know were in there, and found no trace of them

    Try find ~ -type d -name "Pictures" and if nothing found sudo find / -type d -name "Pictures". This might take a while as it searches through all your folders. Should find your folder if you accidentally moved it somewhere else.

    I have not seen this suggestion yet - Can ou boot from a live USB, and run sudo fsck -f /dev/sda<number> on your partition?

This morning I went to save an image and although my Pictures directory can be seen, when I click on it, I get the message that the file/directory cannot be found and my 1000's of photos have disappeared. The Trash is also empty.

  • Maybe you accidentally moved the directory some place else? Is this different from your main ~/Pictures directory?

  • this is my main ~/Pictures directory, and I have searched the entire drive for subdirectories and specific file names that I know were in there, and found no trace of them

    Try find ~ -type d -name "Pictures" and if nothing found sudo find / -type d -name "Pictures". This might take a while as it searches through all your folders. Should find your folder if you accidentally moved it somewhere else.
