Recovery of recently deleted files

Restoring recently deleted files can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some steps that will help you recover lost data:

1. Check the trash: the first place to search for deleted files is your trash on your computer or storage device (flash drive, external hard drive, etc.). If you accidentally deleted files by dragging them to the Recycle Bin, they should still be available.

2. Use the “Undo” command: most programs have the function of undoing the last action using the Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac) key combination. This can work both when deleting a file from the program interface of the program itself, and when moving/deleting it through the operating system explorer.

3. Use specialized programs: there are a number of tools for data recovery after accidental deletion or formatting of the drive.
Some of these programs:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill

4. Turn to professional services: if you cannot restore files yourself, you can turn to data recovery specialists. They have professional software and hardware for working with damaged drives.

It is important to remember that the faster you act after deleting the file, the greater the chances of its successful recovery. Therefore, try to avoid writing new data to the storage device until the recovery procedure is complete.
