Q: the folders content have chnaged

hi

I had 10 folders on the screen of my mac with different names and content till yesterday but today the content of the folders are the same as they are copied from one another. I had very important documents but now they are all gone. I would appreciate your advice to be able to retrieve my documents.

    Hello !

    if you have two folders with identical names at two different locations, you can merge them into a single folder.

    Press and hold the Option key, then drag one folder to the location that contains a folder with the same name. In the dialog that appears, click Merge.The Merge option appears only if one of the folders contains items that are not in the other folder. If the folders contain different versions of identically named files, the only options are Stop or Replace.


    Thanks !
