Hi,
Depends on how you saved the files.
If you just copied from the PC and pasted on the Passport, just do the opposite. Copy from Passport and paste them on the PC.
If you used WD Backup, open Backup and select Restore at the top. Then select “Select Files to Restore” at the bottom. For details click “Help” at the bottom left.
If you used anything else, you are on your own.

I deleted them from my pc after I moved them to the passport. They disappeared from the passport. so they are nowhere. Some look they are overwritten
But the weird thing is some appear to not be overwritten but when I try to open then I can not.
Is W.D. backup a cloud?
No! WD Backup is software to copy files from your PC to your Passport. Passport is just a hard drive mounted in a separate box and connect through the USB port.
Try copying (not moving!) the good files (not overwritten) back to the PC and see if they open there.
