What does 0 bytes mean?
Zero bytes basically represent the size of the file. So, a file with 0 bytes simply means that it either doesn’t contain any information whatsoever. Or may have been corrupted, which implies, you can not open such a file. Apart from regular files, sometimes, folders can also start showing zero bytes size unexpectedly.
While, in the case of a hard disk drive, if it displays 0 bytes then apparently the file system of it is corrupted. Eventually flashing RAW as the file system when you get into Properties after right-clicking on the disk drive.
That implies, neither the space is available in it to save any data nor you can read, write or alter it until you format the file system type back to a recognized one.

So, what’s the reason behind zero bytes file size and how to fix and recover zero-byte files? Check this video and follow the methods step by step.

  • Hello, hugs from Brazil. I have a question, my external backup drive contains a 1TB seagate hd, using the version of your program I can go to the folder I want to recover, however:
    1- the usb drive, when I connect it to my computer it appears: the file or folder is corrupted and unreadable
    2- the usb drive has errors, delay detected by another program.

    But then I need to open your program and see the folder I want to recover.
    I start the process of recovering a folder, after scanning the HDD, by your program.
    But when recovering 4 important files, they appear on the second new HDD as ZERO bytes. But the first time I used your program, I TESTED it with a file and it recovered the same file, showing the photo in the preview, but after I bought the new hd to copy that folder, or important files, only ZERO appears in the restoration.

    What to do ?

  • I purchased an SD card for my son's video game for approximately $150. However, to my dismay, when I inserted the SD card, it showed 0 bytes of available storage. My son was extremely upset upon seeing this, and I was equally concerned about the significant amount of money I had spent on it.
