Default Wtf *please help** all data on sd erased

I plugged my phone into my pc and the connection shows as MTP connected.

I then created a folder called Media. I placed my DCIM folder (which was on my external SD card) into Media... AND IT ERASED ALL THE PICTURES...

Has this happened to anyone else?

When I look at my disk space, it's showing as if it was erased (29gb free, it had 26gb free).

This same thing happened with my music (8gb).

Can anyone please help.

Same thing happened to me. I thought it was the AEMod flash I did from CWM right afterwards but yeah, I moved a folder full of apk's I've accumulated over the course of owning Android phones to the external_sd folder using Nautilus (Gnome's file manager).
When I Connect USB Storage to my workstation I get two mounts: 12GB and 16GB. The file manager works fine with the external_sd folder underneath the 12GB mounted device so I didn't think anything of it, but I wonder if you're supposed to only use the 16GB device?
Sux4sure.

I'm really pissed.

Luck I have most of the pics saved on my laptop, but still, makes no sense why if you move folders on your 32gb card intoa different folder on your sd card that it would wipe
