After formatting, you can restore files
Formatting the hard disk or other data storage devices may result in the deletion of all files from them. However, in certain cases, recovery of lost information is possible.
There are special data recovery programs that can help restore deleted files after formatting. These programs work on the basis of the fact that during formatting, the data is not completely erased from the disk and remains available to be overwritten with new information.
However, it should be noted that the chances of successful recovery depend on a number of factors:
1. Elapsed time after formatting: the more time that has passed since the subsequent recording to the disk (program/file), the higher the chance of success.
2. Computer usage policy: if read/write operations were performed after formatting, this may damage the integrity of the file and slow down its retrieval.
3. The type of data cleaning algorithms used in the formatter
