Question

I had few files in my computer, it had become zero bytes files automaticaly. and when i open it says invalid pics, how to retrieve these images?

Answer 1

A few ideas:

• Where did the images come from? Can you download or copy them again?
• Try a different image viewer. Maybe Irfanview or Paint.net
• Use Everything to search your drive for any other instances of the file.
• Use a recovery application like Recuva to try and retrieve it if it was deleted.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If there are zero bytes in the file, then you cannot retrieve the image from the file. You may be able to retrieve the image from somewhere else, though.

Answer 3

this happened to me once. On chrome, when I saved the image to the disk, the download was successful but the result was a zero sized image.

I think the only solution is to re-download the images if you got them from the internet.

Answer 4

If the images were on your hard drive and readable previously the smart recovery software from http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/smart%5Frecovery/info.htm?language=1 might recover them.
