I took everything off of my desktop and put it onto the flash drive, still had plenty of room for etching the new os onto the flash drive.
@heretical_1 in my post #9 I adviced you to
and obviously saving it into the same drive you were gonna use to burn Zorin wasn't the safest place. Calm down, been there and saved most of my stuff, yes, most of it ... not all of it However, that taught me to be more cautious and now I made regular backups; to my external drive and to the cloud https://mega.nz/start Looks like you lost around 30gb of data? I lost around 200-300gb last year when accidentally using dd - which I avoid to use as much as I can - formatted my USB HDD with 800GB of data, luckily for me as soon as I realized my mistake I stopped the process by unplugin the HDD but the damage was done only not completely and all of my stuff was there, with some tools I was able to recover most of it but lost some pictures I really liked from my time at the University they're lost, forever. I just moved on and have been trying to be more cautious with that kind of stuff and so should you my friend cheer up man! Life's made of those moments; the mistakes we make so we can grow as the best version of ourselves!Save your important data somewhere safe
