Lost all my albums after moving photos from file>images

[tonymedawar]

Hello this is my 1st post/problem hope to get some answers from you guys.
I have an S5.

I had 130 photo albums saved in my external sdcard.

I went to Apps>My Files>images, selected all photos (13560 pics) and moved them to a new created album on my external sdcard.

Now all my albums still at my sdcard but they are empty, all photos were moved from the 130 albums to the newly created album.

Is there a way to recover the photos to the 130 albums?

Please help.
Tony

Welcome to Android Central! When you say you had 130 photo albums on the external SD card, were these 130 separate directories that each represented an album? Just want to make sure we're distinguishing file directories from the albums that can be created in certain gallery apps (which don't represent separate file directories).

If these were separate directories, then are you saying you moved all of the photos in these 130 directories to a new directory? If you did a Move command, there's no way to reverse that, since it deletes the source file. You'd have to move the files back manually.
