    Recover data from corrupted USB: bit.ly/34eTuNn
    There are many situations when USB drives may stop working due to unexpected errors. In this situation, you won’t be able to access the USB drive or retrieve its content at all. In general, there are two types of USB drive corruption, i.e., logical and physical corruption.
    Logical corruption basically means that the USB drive has bad sectors, contains malware, or has an incorrect file system. Physical corruption means that the USB drive has experienced some sort of physical damage. Fixing a corrupted USB drive with a logical error is much easier than a USB drive that has experienced physical damage. If you need to find corrupted USB flash drive repair solutions, you can follow the solutions in the video to fix corrupted USB flash drive and recover your data.

    My USB was corrupted with all my 3D models and code files. This was all built up in a span of 4 years. The USB was my only hope after my laptop broke down. I tried using the commands like you did in the video, this made it accessible but deleted most of my data. Later in the video I saw the Wondershare method and I was doomed in my head because I had missed a big chance of getting my data back.

    An absolute gentleman. Would not have gotten my issue sorted without you.
    I followed each step on two different laptops but it was working for me.
    The Wondershare Recovery worked though... Kind of. I installed it, had it scan for my drive and that fixed it. I didn't even need to buy the product to recover the data.
    Once Wondershare scanned it, the USB Drive was back appearing in my Windows Explorer. I backed the hell up out of it immediately to my external drive. Spent the last 20/30 minutes barely moving incase it stopped working.
    Backed up now and that stick is being chucked in the bin. Whether or not it's been fixed or not... The Cursed thing has caused me too much grief to even look at it anymore.
    It's disloyalty cannot go unpunished.

      I’m glad to hear you managed to recover your data with Wondershare Recovery and get everything backed up! It sounds like you went through a stressful situation, but you handled it well.
      Your reaction to the USB stick is pretty relatable. Sometimes, it’s best to just cut ties with unreliable hardware and not let it cause more headaches. It’s always a good idea to have backups in place to avoid these kinds of situations in the future.
      If you need any more help or advice on data recovery or backups, feel free to ask!

Then I found you after a little search. Suddenly, there were my files back (after using the CMD option) and operating as they should. I was sweating at the possible loss of all and needed a gin. But all is well now. I'll still have the gin. Thanks again!

      Hi there, normally it is suggested to try the trial version to check if your files can be found first before buying. If so, then it is suggested to buy to recover them back. Try Recoverit for free here: recoverit.wondershare.com/data-recovery-free.html
