Restoring data after formatting the flash drive
Restoring data after formatting a flash drive can be quite a difficult task, but in most cases, data can be returned with the help of special programs.
Before starting the process, it is important to consider several points:
1. Immediately stop using the flash drive: The sooner you stop writing new data to the formatted disk, the more chances there are for successful data recovery.
2. Using specialized programs: There are many different tools for restoring data after formatting a flash drive. Some of the most popular and effective ones are Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Disk Drill.
3. Connect your flash drive to the computer via a USB port or use a card reader (if available).
4. Run the selected remote information search program and follow the instructions for scanning your data storage device (in this case, a flash drive). Usually, the program will provide an opportunity to perform a deep or surface scan; I recommend performing both types of checks for best results.
5. View found files: When the program finishes scanning, it will show a list of found files. You can view them in preview mode or choose the one you need to restore.
6. Data recovery: Start the recovery process only after a thorough analysis of the search results. Make sure that you have selected all the necessary files and specify the destination for saving the extracted information (not to a flash drive).
7. Create a backup: When the data has been successfully recovered from erasure, create a backup copy of all your valuable documents on another safe storage.
Remember that the success of the operation may be different - it depends on the state of your flash drive before formatting and the amount of new data recorded after this process.
