My memory card gets recognized in my laptop and I moved a lot of very important files into it, but after some time, I open it and there are no files which I can see even though it says 17 gb has been already used in it

I kindly ask for your help please

right click on the drive and select properties...go to "Tools" and click on "Check Now"...then tick mark both the check boxes and execute...
alternatively...open cmd at elevated level and execute this command on the target disk... chkdsk /r/f

i did the cmd command and it said the type of file is exFAT, it also said chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process, chkdsk will run if that volume is dismounted 1st, all open handles to this volume would then be invalid, so it asked if I would dismount this volume, should I?

I also clicked check from tools in da properties of the drive and it said there are no errors

So what should I do now?
