this is a Windows Cleanup forum, I assume that you have a problem with Andriod version, is that correct?

Thank you.

The same thing happened with me.

I run avast clean tool on my Windows 10 and it removed all my images and videos.

Now unable to recover.

Hi,

If you go to Go to Rescue Center are there any items that coincide with this issue to undo?
