#556 Recover tmp file - crashed compression with deletion

[tjh]

I have a 1.8GB 7z.001.tmp file of data that I tried to compress when 7z crashed.
Also, I do have the used settings for compression, but am unable to restore these files.
And I did enable "delete files after compression", hence why this is a problem.
7zip can't open it as an archive.

Can you help me?

Settings:
- 7z
- Level 5 - Normal
- Method LZMA2
- Dictionary 16MB
- Word size 32
- Block size 4GB
- #Threads 16/16
- Memory usage: 80%
- Split 4480M - DVD
- Delete files after compression: Yes
- Compress shared files: No
- Create SFX Archive: No
- Password: No
- Encrypt file names: No

I thought I made this private, apparently not...

How did it crashed and why?
"delete files after compression" is not problem as I suppose.
7-zip deletes origianl files, if archive was created successfully.
So you must have original files still.

Since it is 100+GB of images and videos I am not certain something is gone, I honestly just assumed it was, if that's not the case, that is awesome!
The reason for the crash isn't completely clear to me. I plugged in a drive just before that, so maybe that's the reason? No clue tbh. The way it crashed was, that it first displayed an error of a file being accessed or altered (don't fully remember) by something else (just a single file), which came logged in that bottom window, half a minute after that the program just randomly closed leaving the tmp file.
