Large folder has disappeared on my external hard drive

[Nik_praying_for_patience]

I have an external drive of 8TB (7.27TB). It has 1.30TB of free space. I had 11 main folders but one has disappeared and there is now only 10 folders which account for 1.10TB of space. The 11th folder was the largest which took up nearly 5TB (Video). My PC clearly shows that the data is still on the disk but I cannot find it. The Drive shows up as being healthy.
