Neither bug has fixes or solutions, and they have refused to refund, let alone help recovering my files. I was running Paragon's HFS+ software for just 13 days before this corruption happened, and this is the second bug I have tried to get support for (the first was the software refuses to register). I can't stop working for a week, so by now I have had to re-create the files. After another 4 days Paragon told me their software drivers cannot be to blame as they do not write to disks. After 4 days they told me to uninstall and reinstall their software - it is as obvious on my support call as it is here that that is irrelevant to the issue. I have been trying to get help from Paragon's customer support. How might they be visible to the copy operation but invisible to ls -a? So I cancel the copy, hoping to find a way of recovering the data.Īny ideas how can I recover my hidden files?

Somehow, while they are found by the OS X copy command, they are hidden from ls, sudo ls -a, and the Finder GUI. After 4 days they told me to uninstall and reinstall their software - it is as obvious. This gives me hope that the files do still exist on the drive. I have been using Paragon HFS+ to get write access to my Mac HFS+. Yet the file is not visible with OS X Finder or using the ls -a command. However, when I try to copy in the files from a backup, the copy stops, saying there is already a file with that name in the destination folder. On discovering the files were missing, I went to copy these old files back to the same directory that has been partially emptied by Paragon HFS+, using OS X Sierra Finder. Suddenly half the files in a directory have gone missing.Ī few months ago I copied the files onto an external drive. I tried restoring from a restore point before I installed HFS+ and all such attempts fail.

'Uninstall' from Add/Remove programs runs and 'HFS+ for Windows by Paragon Software' briefly disappears from the list of programs - then pops back into the list.

There are no folders or files for it anywhere in my program files but it magically appears under installed programs. I downloaded for a free trial - now I can't get rid of it. I have been using Paragon HFS+ to get write access to my Mac HFS+ partition from within Windows 8. I've tried uninstalling through Windows and Ccleaner and it looks like it's uninstalled but when I open the uninstall utility (both Windows and Ccleaner) up again Paragon HFS Explorer is back on the list.
