Recovery of Unix Executable File (exec) during USB failure?
Hello!
I am wondering if anyone has knowledge if data can be recovered from files that were corrupted during a USB failure. My USB overheated, I believe, and then showed it was "not ejected properly" and then re-booted and when I viewed it again one of the folders appeared as a black box with green lettering stating "exec" (shown below). The title of the folder was "Photos-Unknown" as they were unidentified old family photos, so I would like to recover them if it is possible.
Any help is appreciated, even if it is that there is nothing that can be done so that I know if I should continue trying to recover them or not. Thank you!
When I attempt to open the file, it states the following:
"Last login: Sun Jun 4 21:57:14 on ttys001
