MEMORY CARD/FLASH/EXTERNAL HDD NOT DISPLAYING FILES YET SPACE IS CONSUMED

The space is consumed but when you try to click and open the device especially when its connected to a computer, there is nothing displayed.
Its as if the files don't exist. It must be mind boggling!

2. Scan it with an updated antivirus to clean off any virus/trojan etc
3. Go to Run under start menu, then type CMD

4. Type drive letter assigned to your device e.g. F: or G: or H: depending on the computer you are using. Then click enter on the keyboard, the CMD environment should now be reading the same as your device's drive letter.

type -s leave space
