Hello,
After thinking about restoring my PC due to numerous bugs, I created a rar file named "Backup", I copied it to a USB drive. I restored my PC, pasted the file on the desktop after the restoration, tried to open it, and to my great disappointment, I got the error: "The archive is damaged or its format is corrupted". I checked the properties, and in the general tab under size, I see that my file is 0 bytes instead of 571 MB...Can you please help me? There are many personal documents in it...
Hoping to find help,

Hi,
you can try to repair it with WinRAR...

open WinRAR and there's a repair option

but a 0 KB archive I don't think you can recover them...
you have a better chance of trying to recover the data after formatting with a program like r-studio or other programs of that kind
