Recovery of files after quick formatting

Restoring files after quick formatting can be quite a difficult task, but in most cases it is possible to return lost data. Here are some ways that can help:

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

2. Contact data recovery professionals: If you are not confident in your computer skills or if the program for self-use was unsuccessful, it is best to contact professional data recovery services for help.

3. Try using the command line (for experienced users): Some operating systems provide access to the command line with functions for checking and correcting errors on the hard disk or flash drive after formatting it.

Regardless of the chosen method, it is recommended to stop writing new information to the formatted disk until the data recovery process is complete. This will help avoid overwriting deleted files and increase the chances of successful recovery of lost information.

However, you should not rely only on data recovery programs - they can be effective, but the result can depend on various factors, such as the time since the disk was formatted or the use of special software for the safety of file deletion before formatting.
