March 16, 20251 yr Community Expert Disk 5 is mounted now. Browse into disk5 with the built-in Dynamix File Manager. Under Action, click the + for lost+found folder, Calculate, and post the result.
March 16, 20251 yr Community Expert So you have 113GB in lost+found. You can examine those contents. Typically when something is lost+found, repair doesn't know what folder a file belongs in, and/or doesn't know the name of a folder/file. The linux 'find' command might be able to tell you what kind of data is in a particular file, so you can try to open it in an appropriate application to see if you can identify it. Sometimes not worth the trouble. Wish we still had other options.
March 17, 20251 yr Author Got it! Just checked it thoroughly, nothing important on there but surprisingly some very old files I thought I had deleted

When you delete a file, the filesystem is updated to say the space that data is in is no longer part of a file and can be used again. But the data is still there until the space is reused. 52 minutes ago, dapiedude said: nothing important on there 👍
