Windows Deleted Files from PC & External Drive with one click - how to recover?

I'll try to make this short.....


Upgrading desktop from HDD's to SSD's - backing up data from PC to external drives form temporary storage.


I CUT the 'Videos' folder under my user and 'Pasted' it on the External Drive (NAS).


After all files were transferred to the NAS (overnight) I went ahead right clicked the Videos folder on the PC and clicked delete - it showed the files being deleted then suddenly removed the folder from BOTH the PC and the NAS!!!


I was confused why it did not remove the folder on the PC when it was done 'cutting', but I guess now I know.


The recycle bin is empty as well.


How do I recover? Is everything lost? What was MS thinking somehow linking this folder no matter where it is saved?!


Please ANY help is appreciated!
