I was able to save the files from the sdcard on my windows 10, about 35GB, which is about right.
But the files are Shockwave .swf formart.

How do I read those files?

swf file format is prone to false positive.
It usually happens with encrypted filesystem (Windows bitlocker, veracrypt...). If it's the case, you need to decrypt the volume before using photorec.

It is a sdcard that was on my Android phone Moto G 7.

The partition showed it was MS Data/exFAT which I was not sure if it was correct.

How do I decrypt the volume?

To decrypt, do I select file type None, and then Advance exFAT, then list, then do I write?

I have 2 partitions on the sdcard, and when I wanted to select None type,bit says it is only for a disk that only had one partion.

What should I do to decrypt the sdcard?
