I have a flash drive with wedding photos which i can view the photos and videos when plugging the flash drive into my TV, but when I put it in my PC on windows 11 or even my iMac, it says the drive needs to be formatted, which would erase the drive. What should I do to recover the files without wiping the drive?

    If you reFORMATTED it, then everything is gone.

    Reformatting doesn’t remove the data, it just marks the location where the data is as free. As long as something hasn’t overwritten it, you can still recover it.
