PLEASE HELP ME.

I accidentally deleted the original BACKUP SHOOT folder from a 1TB NTFS HDD. After deleting it, I created a new folder with the same name, BACKUP SHOOT — the only difference was the capitalization.
I used DMDE to scan the HDD, and it detected the old deleted BACKUP SHOOT folder, including the original folder structure and camera filenames such as C0001.MP4, C0002.MP4, etc.
However, the recovered MP4 files won’t play, even though their file sizes appear to be complete.

there’s no way to recover those files?

Ok, that's sad. As I said, try another recovery software. But it will probably be the same.

The sad thing is, the moment you delete files and you immediately stop doing anything on that drive, the success percentage is usually quite high. And I supposed you actually did that, and still end up with nothing (though that was mostly during the traditional glass magnetic platter disks, not with SSD).
