Hello guys,

In your case, it formatted your USB stick, creating a small partition because that is all it needed. Chances are that it did a quick type format which may allow you to recover some of your files, even though you effectively erased the drive. Just use a file recovery tool to copy the files you can recover to another drive.

 

I suggest using recuva. The files are most likely corrupted tho.

Look into PHOTO-REC. It has worked for me with corrupted USB.
