my “downloads” folder has suddenly been corrupted n windows is showing me a message saying that the folder is corrupted and unreadable… how can i get my files from that folder?? and wat cud be the cause of the problem?

perform a chkdsk operation.

1. press Win+R [Win key is the windows key next to left ALT]
2. type ‘cmd’ & press enter
   (this opens a command prompt window)
3. type ‘chkdsk /f /x c:’
   (if prompted with a message regarding not able to lock…, press Y & reboot the system)

So essentially if there is a file system corruption, the chkdsk utility will attempt to repair it BUT it’s also possible it won’t be able to recover your folder and you may lose your data.
