"Hi, I need an easy way to unformat my USB flash drive on Mac. So about two years ago, I purchased 16 GB Kingston USB flash drive. I save so many memorable pictures of me and my family on my USB flash drive. And as I remember it, I named it under my own name. But, yesterday something wrong happened. When I plugged my USB flash drive to my Mac, the autoplay popup displayed a wrong USB flash drive name. It said, "Removable Disc" instead of my name.
I thought that was normal until I realized I couldn't access my USB flash drive at all. It asked me to format the USB flash drive and I clicked on Yes by mistake – the USB flash drive was formatted. Is there any easy way to recover all those pictures because they're so memorable and I don't want to lose them all. Please help to unformat the USB flash drive on Mac!"
