Restoring files after deleting the partition

Recovering files after deleting a partition can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to recover part or all of the lost data. Here are some ways that can help:

1. Use data recovery software: There are many free and paid data recovery software, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Recuva, and TestDisk. Install these programs on a second disk or USB flash drive (to avoid overwriting potentially deleted files) and run a scan of the deleted partition.

2. Contact professional data recovery services: If you do not have experience working with similar tools or if they did not lead to a result, you can turn to information reconstruction companies for help.

3. Check the Windows system archive (for Windows OS users): Some operating systems automatically create points saved before changing the disk structure or adding new software/deleting the previous one.
To check the availability of this function:
a) Go to "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Update and Security" -> "Recovery".
b) In the "Reverse recovery" section, click the "Start" button.
c) Select the desired save point that was created before deleting the partition.

4. Check backups: If you have made regular backups of your data, you may have the opportunity to restore files from recent archives or disk images.

However, in addition to these methods, it is necessary to understand that when a file/partition is lost, each case is individual and the result depends on many factors (the current state of the hard disk; the time elapsed since the partition was deleted).
