Windows 10 1809 update deleted all files from Documents!

after installing update 1809,  all my files was also removed.   

after trying different recovery software which was not successful ,  I have managed to located the files under 

C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\redirections$\profilename

The file is over 300GB -  a copy everything which was removed form my profile.

The issue I am having now is that I am unable to extract the data out or move to different folder.

When am trying to take ownership of the folder structure am receiving error.

ERROR: the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

halfway on desktop folder, 

can anyone help on the process to move offline data to different hard drive which I can then move back to the server.

Regards,

Have you tried using a Robocopy command? That often works where a simple file copy doesn't.

I initially thought I have caught some malware. But no, it was this MS update.

Unfortunately, data very important to me got deleted, including the backup data on OneDrive.

Until today I'm finding this thread. This is not acceptable, Microsoft has caused financial damage to me and to hundred thousands of other users. What we need here is a class act and suing MS.

They must learn, that they can't do with us whatever they want, and getting away with it.

What Microsoft is did was 100% negligence, rolling out apparently not tested updates is not acceptable. They should be held responsible for the damages they have caused.

Honestly!!

so-called Microsoft Insiders pointed to problems in the past, only to find that Microsoft would still release faulty updates, patches. 

One piece of advice I would like to give you which is simple and sweet. Backup all of your data at least on one external drive (NAS drive, USB drive) but never ever rely on one type of backup software (such as OneDrive) alone. 

Microsoft, to my mind, lost control over Windows 10 respectively aim to make Windows 10 history.

Last night I updated to 1809, and it all went smoothly, but then I find that all my files in Documents are DELETED. Gone. Poof. This included many crucial documents and financial info. Yes, I have a backup (I think - using Windows Backup to a NAS). But this is pretty bad. Did no one in the first two rings run into this yet?

I understand (from the news) that this happens to all files in Documents that aren't synced to OneDrive. Further, the Documents folder is really an agglomeration of "Documents" from several different paths - not sure how that works, and it may or may not relate.

Deleted documents and they tell us to "Oh just restart 3 or 4 times"- so callous and cavalier. This is what happens when monopolies aren't broken up. And icons on the Start page are trashed- I reset them and Microsoft trashed them again.

Prior to this they murdered Hotmail offering no guidance on getting messages other than getting users deeper in the morass of Office365, live.com, outlook.com. and alias email accounts and . . .   I'm sure the senior VPs laugh themselves to sleep each night.

My solution- time to try a MacBook.
