Restoring files after cleaning the trash
Restoring files after emptying the recycle bin can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to recover deleted data. Here are some ways that can help:
1. Check the "Recovered files" or "Trash" folder. Some operating systems automatically move deleted files to this folder before finally deleting them.
2. Use data recovery software. There are many free and commercial tools that offer the function of searching for and returning deleted files from the hard disk or other storage devices (for example, Recuva).
3. Contact a professional data recovery company if you cannot perform this task on your own with the help of available software.
Regardless of the method you choose, the following steps should increase the success of your lost data recovery request:
– Continue to use your device as little as possible until all the required data is completely found.
- If possible - save any new content on another physical medium or disk.
– If you use data recovery software, make sure that it does not save the found files on the same partition/disk.
It is important to remember that the success of recovery depends on many factors: the time from the moment the file is deleted to the beginning of the search process and the possibility of overwriting the storage space. Therefore, the faster you take action after accidentally deleting a file, the more chances you have to return the lost information.
