Recovery of files after formatting

Restoring files after formatting can be a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return part or even all of the lost data. Here are some ways that can help:

1. Using a data recovery program: There are many software tools, such as Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Disk Drill, that allow you to scan a formatted drive and find deleted files.

2. Contact a data recovery professional: If you have no experience working with similar programs or if they do not give the desired results, contacting a data recovery specialist may be a good choice. They have access to more advanced equipment and techniques for extracting information from damaged drives.

3. Checking previous backups: If you made a system backup before formatting the disk (which I always recommend), then you can simply use this last saved point to quickly return to where you left off before the operations began

4. More accuracy when formatting: If you have not yet started the data recovery process, be careful when using the computer after the case of file loss. The more new data will be written to the disk, the lower the probability of a successful recovery.

It is important to remember that the success of recovery depends on various factors - for example, the time since formatting and the amount of overwritten data. Therefore, the sooner you take appropriate measures to restore files after formatting, the better the result can be obtained.
