and retrieve the files that way.

ETA: If you plug your phone charger into a USB port on your laptop or desktop you should be able to look at everything that's on your phone. You'll see something like "Samsung" in whatever drive you used (d, e, f...) using file explorer. Double click and all your files should show up like when you use any other USB flash drive device. Take it from there. Copy/paste.
