Moved saved game content from usb to hard drive - saved game is lost!

I am posting because my son is literally bawling. He decided to move some saved game info for Terraria from his USB to the XBOX 360 hard drive to make room on the usb for something he was trying to download. When he went to try and access his saved game
from the hard drive, it wouldn't come up. He tried the USB, though it actually appears the data is all still there (same GB like it didn't delete anything on the USB) it won't access his saved game from there either. So we located the saved game which was
moved to the hard drive through the console features and attempted to move it back to the USB...like maybe it is still searching for it from the old path...still won't come up. He says two years of Terraria gaming is gone and he is mourning it like it is
the end of the world. Any suggestions on how to get his saved gaming back?

Trying to transfer content from my previous Xbox to my new one - NOTHING HAPPENS

u can try to tranfer all your saved games data, profile, pic, themes, to a usb drive. Then put new hard drive in - reformat - then tranfer all the data from usb back to new hard drive .. Then redownload all your other content

 

Is there any way to unconfiguring a hard drive and recovering saved games?

I recently got bought a new 360 slim with the 320g hard drive as well as a transfer cable to move my saved data from my old 360 elite. In the process of doing this my 120g hard drive from my elite was configured to the usb port and now only shows 16g available
if connected with the transfer cable. I have lost all saved games and profiles. Is there any way to undo the configuration and retrieve the saved games and profiles from encrypted files on the hard drive? If the hard drive is like a normal computer hard drive
all saved games and dlc should still be there somewhere no matter deleted or reconfigured. Is there anyway to get it back so the xbox can read it as a normal hard drive with 120g's and recover the saved data?

 

did you try removing the usb and deleteing the moved file on the xbox? could be confused since the same file is in two different locations. if that works move the file again and remove the usb but don't delete the usb copy just in case. sounds like your
xbox might be confused by 2 identical files so it doesn't know which one to use.
