Don't be misleaded by just reading the topic, read my full problem its different from others:
So yesterday I was at a convention and I took lots and lots of photos and videos, both my SD card(8GB) and device memory(16GB) were full. Then I connected it to my laptop running ubuntu 12.04 (elementaryOS) but it showed the DCIM folders of both the storages empty. I went to its properties and it showed empty folder(0 bytes), but the whole storage of SD card and device were full. Then I moved both the DCIM folders to my PC (they were still empty), but then almost around 7GB and 10GB were freed on SD card and device respectively. I again checked the DCIM folders(which were now in my PC's storage) they were still empty!
Then I Moved both the DCIM folders back into SD card and device storage( they were still empty) but this time, the storages of both sd card and device remained same (i.e. around 7GB and 10GB free).
Summary of the whole scenario:
1. Took photos and videos- SD card 97% used and device storage 97% used
2. Moved both DCIM folders to different locations in PC- SD card 13% used and device storage 24% used
3. Moved back both DCIM foldes back to their previous locations- SD card 13% used and device storage 24% used!
So where did all those photos and videos went? Please help as I need those photos and videos badly. Any help in this matter would be heavily appreciated.
