Well I tried to pull it off effortlessly and sadly they can't be repaired..... RIP those models and created and reformed throughout the years since 2013. I'll never forgive the sudden deletion that day, it happened when I was away from home.

Just what I thought, I was able to save one .skp file but the rest is affected by that corruption. I never heard things like sketchup files have data stored inside. Is it something very specific?

Otherwise I'm testing other recovery tools aside EaseUS, thanks for the recommendations.

I know this has been discussed before, but it's my first time coming here.

So my problem is about opening my sketchup files because they won't work after I recovered them from an unexpected deletion that I am not aware of. I used EaseUS for the recovery and I noticed it has made a bunch of auto-copies renaming my files with at the end "_000", "_001" and so on. I tried everything: refreshing my PC, installing and uninstalling the program, changing file formats but still no luck. I've kept most of my original files away from the auto-copies and I put them all in a Drive right here (don't mind the title, I made some WIPs/concept models for a Mario game as a test): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DqWW7Xv6Sgm0d4LO5wa5MqmEQL8kkGpC

As I use version SU Pro 2017, I'm not sure if one of you uses in comparison a different version, feel free to take a look and fix what's going wrong to my files, your help is gladly appreciated. Thanks.
