    What you folks are stating is not possible. Period. End of story.

     

    Either they are somewhere else on your system or something else caused their loss. 

     

    If you have any name/date/ or any other aspects you can search for, please try to search for your missing files that way.

     

    Look, Bridge doesn't DO anything to any file. It's a browser with a lot of extra features. Blaming Bridge is like blaming the Finder or Explorer for deleting files because you looked at them with Finder/Explorer. If you were moving files in Bridge and suddenly they are gone, it sounds to me like your finger slipped and they got moved to some other location on your computer (or attached hard drives). By pursuing the concept that it's Bridge's fault, you are wasting time in locating the files. 

     

    Please, for your own sanity, have the theories follow the facts, do not bend the facts to follow the theories.

     

    With all respect, seriously look for more data.

    Running the newest version of Brdige.  I just deleted some files and now cannot find.  I did a search with explore by file name and no luck.  Where are they?  Is there a Bridge setting to select where delted files for future?

      Hi there, I have experienced the same thing today, much to my dismay. I was working off the SD card in Bridge, with the aim of exporting the edited CR2 files to the permanent location on my computer. Whilst fumbling around for the Export button, I accidentally created a new folder, so I deleted it, only to discover that I had in fact deleted ALL of my photos on the SD card of a photoshoot I had just done. Having searched all over the drive locations the CR2 files are gone. I have however retrieved the cache jpgs, which are just about adequate in size as jpg to use for my purposes (website). I went to Preferences/Cache loaction, and then found copies as cache images, as 72ppi at 48cm wide jpgs.  Gary's comments above are somewhat sarcastic and unhelpful.  Anyway, I shall always copy my files from the SD card before opening in Bridge in future.

        What version of Bridge do you have? I know older versions used to delete without going to the recycle bin, but the lastest version should.

        I'm in Bridge 2020, and went to move photos to a collection and must have clicked incorrectly and they deleted.  No longer on my memory card, and not showing in my recycling bin.  Any chance of recovery?  Said they were moved to the recycling bin, but I can verify they are not.  I work in tech, and don't see them anywhere.

        same thing just happend to me. Adobe, reallly LAME. It appears the process in Adobe Bridge is now destructive and cannot be rreversed. Looks like there is no way to rescue the files.
