Sad about the "KF" chip, as those don't have Intel's "QuickSync" long-GOP hardware processing included. Ah well.

 

As to the deletion, in nearly all cases that is actually that something is 'hidden', sometimes in Premiere's data files as you can set files to 'hidden' within the app. And sometimes on the OS setup, something causes the file data to be set to 'hidden' in the OS.

 

And for general information for those that read this ...Premiere does not copy your files somewhere on "Import"!

 

We have had numerous cases "here" over the years where someone 'imported' their media into Premiere, assuming it was actually copied to someplace else. Then deleted their original media to save space. Which meant ... they deleted their files themselves.

 

Premiere's "import" process is only creating a metadata reference to the location on-disc for the assets imported. That easy misunderstanding occasionally catches people, as noted, and it hurts.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

But i did not delete anything, it gives the error that it can not read the folder. And when i press on properties in the folder says 0 bytes. I did not see a directly answer or solution for this problem

To me, it sounds like a disk failure.

Won't recover the files but will tell you how not to lose everything.

FAQ: When to use "Save A Copy," or "Save As," and when to simply use "Save"

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

You may be experiencing a hard drive failure.

Are you using an external hard drive/
