HI,
One of the folder contains pdf files, videos and other folders.
Once I trided to compress through RAR with password & Encrypted file names.
Its total file size is 8 GB.
Location of all files are in External Hard Disk.
Started compressing then due to it’s taking a long time I cancelled it after just 5 minutes.
All the original files (Folders, videos and pdf) turned to Green color.
Now I am not able to copy/cut/open any files.
Remember this is not Archived files. These are Original files.
When ever I am trying to open it showing that Access is denied. But the files are not in rar format. All files are in original format.
These are all my technical personal files. Please anybody can help me out?

I'm guessing that interrupting the compression process was probably not a wise thing to do. You should have anticipated that compressing and encrypting 8GB would probably take quite a bit of time.

That being said, I would re-try the file compressionn, let it finish the job, and then try de-compressing individual files to see if you can work with them now.

Good Luck.
