Files gone after pressing Ctrl + X

I have been panic moving files from my external HDD due to it failing after only 2 years of use. I've moved over 400GB of files, but then I closed the moving window like an idiot, but the files that haven't been moved we're still there, until I pressed Ctrl + X to move the rest of the files. After pressing it, the files just disappeared, and after pressing Ctrl + V it gave me an error that the files don't exist. I can see that the partition is still 1/4 full, but it won't show me the files. Is there any solution, or any program that could see these "hidden but not actually hidden" files?

This is how it looks like in file explorer:

This is what is actually in the drive:
