INTERPRETATION
A checked photo-folder copy does not finish the contacts task. Verify each inventory entry independently. Keep originals and desktop snapshots unchanged; use copies for organization and conversion. Cancel a format/repair prompt while unique data remains unpreserved. Consult the model handbook before any reset; Quick Erase and Secure Erase are destructive choices.
