All Files in a folder renamed to Mu (μ) symbol || SD card corrupted || Files size reduced

All Files in a folder renamed to Mu (μ) symbol 

 SD card corrupted 

 Files size loosing in a memory card

 USBC files in memory card 

 USBC virus 

 Folder names are being changed to start with the character "μ." For example, my_music was changed to μy_music (this does not happen on the device's internal memory)


SOLUTION :=>

First of all just Check if there is folder named LOST.DIR in your memory card.

Then go to memory card drive (eg. Memory Card(G) ) -> right click -> go to Properties -> go to Tools tab -> click check now ->select both options (i.e. automatically fix errors and scan and attempt to fix bad sectors)             ->click Ok


Now go to LOST.DIR , there you will see lots of files..that's your data 

but its file format is different

so now you just have to change the file extension

for photos -> .jpeg
for videos -> .mp4

for changing extension of all files =>


go to command prompt (cmd) ->  go to memory card drive (e.g. G: )
-> go to LOST.DIR folder ( cd LOST.DIR)

type following command : 

ren *. *.jpeg

(this will bring back all your photos....now copy your photos to different location)


now for bringing back your videos

go to command prompt (cmd) ->  go to memory card drive (e.g. G: )
-> go to LOST.DIR folder ( cd LOST.DIR)

type following command : 

ren .*jpeg *.mp4

(this will bring back all your videos)
