I encountered a similar issue recently. I had an SD card from my OnePlus phone, and when I inserted it into a Samsung phone, I discovered that many files had disappeared. This situation was quite alarming, and I initially tried several data recovery tools such as TestDisk and Recuva. While these tools managed to recover some files, the results were incomplete, and I was unable to retrieve all of my important data. In the end, I used 4DDiG, which offers 2GB of free data recovery, and I managed to recover my lost files without spending a dime.

Before recovering data from an SD Card. You really need to make sure you have a good destination for those recovered files. If youâre saving back to the same SD card youâre recovering from, you could risk overwriting the very files youâre trying to get back. I had to double-check my destination about five times because I was super paranoid about making a mistake.

To recover lost data, start by checking your Recycle Bin or Trash if files were accidentally deleted. Use data recovery software like BLR Data Recovery Tool suggested by @emmatf . Other tools are also available to recover files such as Recuva or Disk Drill for files that are no longer there. If the drive is corrupted or formatted, these tools can help recover data. For failed hard drives, try different connections or ports, and consider professional recovery services if thereâs physical damage. On smartphones, check for backups or use recovery apps like Dr.Fone. If youâre using cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud, check if the data is available for recovery. Always avoid overwriting the drive to maximize chances of successful recovery. 
It sounds like your data might have been deleted due to a compatibility issue or improper ejection of the memory card from the previous device. When you switch a memory card between different devices, some devices might automatically format or delete files to optimize the card for their system. To avoid this, always eject the card safely from one device before using it in another. You can also try to back up your data regularly to avoid any potential data loss.
