    Dear members,

    I came across this issue of disappeared files shared between Mac and win10 in parallels. I had ~300 files stacked on Mac desktop, which bursted out everywhere in windows. So I created a folder in windows and cut&paste them into the new folder, but meanwhile I decided to uncheck the folder-sharing in parallels setting. The file relocation process was interrupted and the files disappeared from both systems. may I ask if the files are gone forever? if so why and if not how to retrieve them? Thanks in advance.


    Best,
    User

    Hello, did you use any application like CleanMyMac?

    Hi Maria, thanks for the reply. no I did not. After I uncheck the sharing, the copy&paste process was interrupted and Parallels rebooted the vm. Then even if I check the sharing again, the files wouldn't show up. On my Mac desktop, there's a folder with similar size to the total size of those files, but the number of files doesn't match.
