May be it is because of a Virus. Or some hardware problem with the USB Drive. I am not sure about getting the data recovered. If it is so precious you may contact some professional. Its easy to get data recovered from bad HDD. I am not so sure about the USB drives.

try to use recovery program may be you could find it and back again.
if not then you should erase this memory it should catch a virus.

just right click on the drive in explorer and format it. the average virus is barely a few hundred kilobytes, so unless you have an exceptionally small usb stick it is NOT a virus. If you want to recover the files there are hundreds of programs out there that might work, just Google file recovery programs. Or you can go to your file settings and show hidden files if the files are hidden and not damaged.

I too had to face similar similar problems with pen drives of high capacity (32GB). I was able to copy files to it, but when I connect it in another computer, the bigger files will be disappeared and instead, there will be a few junk files...

It was the problem with the pen drive and I newer got it repaired as that pen drive has no warranty.

Do you remember where you moved the game to? If your explorer allowed you to view hidden folders on that computer and this one does not, chances are that you will not see the copied information!

Some pen drive of higher capacity have this problem. If you have the backup of the contents in pen drive, try formatting it.

also, with larger pens, some large files my not copy if the usb stick is formatted in fat32 as fat32 has a maximum file size of 4GB
