"I downloaded Recuva from CCleaner. Then I installed it on my Windows 10 desktop. Before running Recuva, I had connected my Xiaomi phone to the computer. When I tried to use this data recovery tool to search for mp3 files on my phone, I found that the Android device does not appear in the location list as a drive. But it can be displayed in the "file explorer" on the desktop. Did I do something wrong? Can anyone help me?"
