I love my FreeNASes. This is my first problem that I haven't figured out. Sorry if it's already been covered but I haven't found it.
I have a few FreeNAS drives mapped into Windows 7 where I manage my data hoards using TeraCopy that verifies. I had temporarily stored some files on my T drive (FreeNAS_Television). I don't recall the name of the folder but it had "Viewed Films" and "Video Projects" within it. In Windows Explorer I moved both folders to the top T drive folder, emptying the temp folder. I then deleted that temp folder. All of the "Viewed Films" folder still seem to be there but the "Video Projects" folder (122GB) which WAS there is NOT now, especially after refreshing. I am not certain whether the T drive has more free GB or not. My own novice guess is that in Win7 I remotely deleted the parent folder before the FreeNAS had actually reorganized everything properly.
From cyberjock's post elsewhere I see:
"1. Restore from backups. Oh, you didn't have backups? Ok.. Goto next
2. Restore from snapshot. Oh, you didn't have snapshots on? Ok.. Goto next
3. Are you using CIFS? Did you enable that "Export recycle bin" option for your file share? If you didn't.. Goto next
There isn't any way to recover your deleted data."
Sadly I'm afraid of the worst.
I'd even settle for a list of names of the files that I lost.
I'm sorry to bother you with my noob problem, but now I'm getting anxious.
Please help!

P.S. Is there any FreeNAS plugin that might allow for a file manager GUI with verifying move/copy? Or better yet a Windows app that was more directly integrated with FreeNAS, like a shell but not, and not just a web interface which seems good for managing.
