Default How do you get missing audio files to Relink?

So I just had an issue where I lost audio files because Pro Tools 12.6 did not copy the files on import and I deleted the original files since I had them in the session (or so I thought). I was able to recover the audio files from my back up drive using some recovery software, but now the clips won't relink some of the audio files. It does relink about half of them, strangely. The funny thing is when I right click a missing file in the clips pane and select "Reveal In Finder" it takes me to the file. So why can't the session relink the clip if it Pro Tools obviously knows where the file is?

Think I figured it out. Some of the files, although recovered, are corrupt!

Actually, the corrupt files wasn't it. I got all the original files from the artist and they are still not relinking. Some of them did but not all of them did.

Luckily I did any rendered effects to the clips so I can just drag them back into the session to restore everything, but I still don't understand why they won't relink?!

EDIT: Figured it out again. Somehow the file names got changed slightly. For some reason, the space got taken out of the file names and clips. Example "Verse Kick" somehow became "VerseKick" in the session. I never changed this.

There is definitely some weirdness going on with file handling in 12.6.

From my personal Experience i will suggest you to use 3rd-party tool, Cisdem DataRecovery. I have an excellent experience with this superb tool therefore I can say it's the simplest and effective approach for recovering lost files.
