Content overwrited when installing more? -Solved

panzer70

I just lost my content from DAZ-folders: data, runtime, people.
I think something like next was happening: I was installing content manually like this; I used zip-folders, dragged folders to Daz-library (C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library). I have done process several times before samekindly. When I drag those files, windows asks Do I want them to be merged with existing folders... If I now answer Yes, those contents are joined together. Might it be answering something else would have overwrited existing content. After installing few different zips with same method I noticed, only those files I just installed are on DAZ's folders and everything older lost. Is there any easy method, I can do to get my contents back?

Update: The problem fixed! Those folders were renamed to same name, I renamed a ReadMe-file (like: name, name (2) name (3)). I don't know why this renaming was happening, those folders propably were highlighted when I made renaming, but as far as I know, renaming many object in Windows7's file explorer at same time is not possible, I even tried it afterwards.. Must have been some kind of explorer's mistake to get it happened. Maybe it's time to make some back-ups now from my DAZ content, it's ages when I have done it last time..

If Windows deleted the files (of which I am not convinced) you could check the Recycle Bin. I would also check to make sure you haven't accidentally moved the folders from My Daz 3D Library to another location.
