Windows 10 data recovery

Data recovery in Windows 10 may be necessary if you accidentally delete files or they become inaccessible due to a system failure. Here are some ways to recover lost data:

1. Check the Recycle Bin: If you deleted files and they ended up in the Recycle Bin, you can simply open it on your desktop and return the necessary items back.

2. Use the "Previous Versions" function: This function automatically creates save points for various documents on your computer. To use this feature, right-click on a folder or file, select Properties, and go to the Previous Versions tab. Here you will find a list of available copies of the file/folder at the last moment.

3. Software for data recovery: There is a large amount of third-party software (Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard) that will help scan the hard drive and perform a deep check of the deleted information.

4. Cloud storage: If you previously backed up via a cloud storage service, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, you can simply download files from your account.

5. System Restore: If nothing else has helped and you have system restore points (System Restore Points), you can try to perform the "Restore" procedure for your Windows 10 operating system. This method will return the computer to its previous state without deleted data.

Regardless of the chosen method, it is recommended to stop using the disk/folder after data loss before starting the recovery process - this minimizes the possibility of writing new data over old and damaged files.
