    The new Access in File Explorer function for smartphones has deleted my phone data


    Hello, when I tried to remove the CrossDevice folder created by Microsoft due to the new Cross-Device Experience Host function from my user directory, 800 files were unintentionally moved from my smartphone to the Recycle bin - Connected device folder created by Microsoft on my smartphone. I had no idea that Windows would delete move the files on my phone and that Microsoft does this so intelligently that no directory structure can be recognized in this deleted folder, so that the deleted files could be quickly restored to their original directory structure in a simple way.Now I have problem

    :)
