My images have completely dissapeared??

On my hard drive I had 1.7tb taken up. So I decided to uninstall some games.

I uninstalled close to 1 terabite of games but as I look on how much free space I have, it says I have nearly the whole drive, is free for space.

Which doesn't make sense as I have other files on there that I can't uninstall and didn't delete such as images and some college work.

They've just disappeared.

Also, I had my picture uploaded to Dropbox, and if I delete something from the Dropbox folder on my computer, it deletes it from their server; so now my dropbox is empty and I haven't been able to get my pictures back.

 

TLDR~ Uninstalled games and some programs and now everything on my drive is missing.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

Soo many games, not enough money to get any.

That doesn't make any sense unless you accidentally deleted a folder containing the rest of those files. A game uninstaller won't delete random files.

 

If you can't find them anywhere, you can use the 'Recuva' program to recover deleted files, assuming they haven't been overwritten yet.

I love you.

This worked!

and luckily, Dropbox also had them in some weird 2nd deleted folder(idk it just poped up)

But, thank you sooo much for the help! :D
