Hello,

Not sure why a TV will do that to a drive, please try using a data recovery software to see if you can get your files back.

Check online and you will find multiple data recovery softwares that you can use for free.

LG TV’s can use USB media to “record” TV via its built-in PVR software on the TV’s tuner, and that folder is where it would store the programmes that it records. When I plugged my MyPassport Ultra into my LG TV it created such a folder, although in my case it was in addition to the files and folders that already existed on the drive. 

Sorry I can’t be much more help as to where your previous files/folders are, but that may help to shed a bit of light as to where that folder came from. Looking at the images it looks like maybe the partition has become corrupted (I note also it’s called "Local Disk ( G: ) in the drive list rather than a named drive product), so as ERmorel says you may be able to fix it up with data recovery software.

Best of luck!
