Deleted files from a flash drive

Deleting files from a flash drive can cause great inconvenience, especially if important data was accidentally deleted. However, there are some ways to restore these files.

1. Check the trash: If you delete files from a flash drive to a computer, they may end up in the trash of your operating system (Windows or macOS). Just open the shopping cart and check its contents. If the desired file is found there, it can be easily returned to the flash drive.

2. Use data recovery software: There are many free and paid programs for recovering deleted data from various types of storage devices, such as Recuva (for Windows), Disk Drill (for Mac) or PhotoRec/TestDisk (a free program for Linux).

3. Contact professional disk repair services: In cases of serious file damage or flash drive formatting without first creating a backup copy, you should contact professional data recovery services.

In any case, it is very useful to regularly create backup copies of important data to avoid information loss.
