• Recover Data from USB Drive Showing 0 Bytes

What if your USB drive shows no data even though free space is 0 bytes? For instance, you connected your USB drive to the computer and shocked to see that it shows 0 bytes as used space as well as 0 bytes free space. When you tried to open that USB drive, it displays an error "Drive need to be formatted; Do you want to format it now?" And, upon trying to format, you got an error 'Windows was unable to complete the format'.

In that case you may try connecting that USB drive to another computer to check, but you got the same result. This happens when your USB drive gets corrupted due to any reason.

Note- Sometimes, files may not show up, when they are in hidden mode. Hence, open command prompt and type: attrib -h -r -s /s /d drive letter:\*.*. To check whether files are in hidden mode or not. If not, then it's due to USB drive corruption.
