    Hi there, my brother cut and pasted movie files from his Galaxy 7 to his pc and is unable to find the movie files. He is running W10. He said he has done this before with no issues. Is there a way to find or recover? Thank you in advance.

    Open file explorer and, in the upper right, enter the name of the movie as search words.

    Did he do this on a Windows 10 computer before?

    I ask because Windows 10 doesn't include a player so perhaps it hides file it can deal with. (I don't run Windows 10 so I'm guessing here.)

    It probably shows them as white icons.

    He forget what the file was and didn’t name it. He tried searching mp4 but nothing. He also check downloads, pic and vid files along with his desktop to no avail.

    A costly mistake. I'll bet he won't do that again.
