Try running

sudo dosfsck -r

a few times and see if that fixes things. Good luck.

Some how the partition (Dev/sda2) partition got deleted. So I use TestDisk to bring it back... The first time I did it it erase the whole hard drive... The second time it did restore the partition which is good. But now it is giving me a error massage when I try to open it in Files(Gnome).

IF you need it in text here: Error when getting information for file '/media/ubuntu-gnome/Backup/User': Input/output error

fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> or e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

I'm so sorry for what happened to your drive. I had to tell that this format the partition but fixes the problem. I can recovery your hard just like it was before, but don't know how to send you a message. Give me your Gmail or telegram or Instagram ID, I'll help you recovery it as fast as possible. Sorry Again.

Lol I wish I could downvote you. When adding solutions like this, also say what it does, especially when it FORMATS YOUR DRIVE!!

Using -a option restores the FS automatically.
