Recovery from a flash drive

Restoring data from a flash drive may be necessary if files have been deleted or lost for some reason. Here are some steps you can take to request a data recovery:

1. Check other devices: If your flash drive is not recognized on one computer, try connecting it to another computer or USB port.

2. Use data recovery software: There are many free and commercial software products specially developed for data recovery from flash drives (for example, Recuva). Make sure that you download such software from a verified source.

3. View the contents of the recycle bin: If files were accidentally deleted using the Windows operating system, they may still be in the user's recycle bin.

4. Seek professional help: If the data is very valuable or the self-repair program did not give results, it is best to contact specialists for data recovery services (data recovery).

Regardless of what methodology you choose when working with your flash drive, remember that it is important not to write new data to the device until you have completely completed the recovery process. This can damage or overwrite deleted files and make their further retrieval impossible.

In any case, it is recommended to regularly create data copies to prevent information loss.
