Abort Copy process, where are files ?

[nielsds]

Hi !

I was copying a bunch of pictures to my desktop (50 gb) but when it was 70%
a friend pulled out the usb cable from the external usb drive. How unlucky can we be.. he dropped the hd by accident. Can we recover the 70% that was copied ? they are not on the desktop and can't find them..

Thanks !

Yes, nothing

OK... I don't know then. But I agree with you there is a chance there are still somewhere. Wait for other answers...

Has the free space that would otherwise be taken up by the pictures disappeared?

Have you restarted your computer? Look in the temp folders and the hidden ones (starting with .*) from the terminal...

How :s ?

Launch the Terminal, locate the temporary folders and do ls .*
Sorry I don't know where are the temporary folders on OSX. On Linux it's /tmp or /usr/tmp...
