I had this zip file and wanted to move it so I cut it, but after I tried pasting it, it said the file was gone.
I went back to the previous folder and it was missing. I tried searching for it through the search thingy on my whole computer and it was magically gone.
I was lucky that I had a backup on my google drive, but I'm just really confused. Where did the file go?
Should also mention, the zip was working. I opened it before I cut it and looked at the pictures that was inside.
Well. I only know this happens when you use Windows explorer to view inside a zip file.
It temporarily opens the zip file in order to show it to you so if you cut the file from the zip file in explorer view then use that same window to navigate to the folder to paste it to then windows will have "closed" access to the zip file and the file to cut will not be accessible anymore.

I have no idea honestly. I know the original zip file isn't touched so when you back out of the zip view the zip file should still be there in that situation.
Try file recovery software
Install the software on a separate hdd
Recover file to separate hdd
you should always have a piece of software like Directory Snoop installed just for these occasions .. great file undeleter
