Had a folder of approx 55GB. Moved into an external HD, days later I move it into another folder (still on the external), then immediately try to put it into a sub folder and get 'Access denied blah blah blah' Have I lost that 50GB? |

Presumably you've checked the sizes of all the folders involved? Have the permissions changed on the folder? See if you can change it to Read & Write / 777 and look inside - can you look inside it at the moment or is it just saying Access denied? |

The folder in question 'New Folder' is showing as 0kb, however when I check the usage of the external HD it shows used 215GB, but when I open and check each folder it only adds up to approx 160GB. That leaves 55GB and that's how much i tried to move. The folder is still access denied, Changing it to read only has made no difference. Want to salvage these files |

Have you checked in the Trash in case it's somehow ended up in there but the size is still showing up on the HD? |

Yeah trash is empty. Running this to see if I have any luck. |
