My notes contain many screenshots. Although I later started using the Emo plugin to upload them to GitHub, some image files are still stored locally. However, due to reasons such as reinstalling or re-syncing cloud drives, or testing file-related plugins, some files were still lost.
Today, I specifically found a Dataview query that lists missing normal links. After identifying the filenames, I used the Everything search engine to search my hard drive. Once located, I copied them back into the Vault. Fortunately, I managed to recover most of them. I'm also glad I used the ![[Image Filename]] syntax without paths at the time, which means the original notes don't need any modification.
```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
out AS "Target", file.link as "Source"
FLATTEN file.outlinks as out
WHERE !(out.file)
AND !contains(meta(out).path, "/")
AND !contains(file.link,"Template")
AND !contains(file.path, "90 Organize/")
SORT out ASC
```
