Recovery of files deleted from a flash drive
Restoring deleted files from a flash drive can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some steps that will help you recover lost data:
1. Stop using the flash drive: As soon as you discover that the files have been deleted or the flash drive has been formatted, stop using it immediately. This is due to the fact that new data can replace old information on the device.
2. Use a specialized software tool: There are many programs for data recovery from various types of storage (file exchanges). For example, Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition are free tools for Windows users.
3. Connect your flash drive to the computer and run the selected program to search for data on USB/Flash Drive devices.
4. Scanning: Select the "deep" scanning mode so that the program checks all available memory space
5. Selection of the necessary information: after the scan is completed, a very large number of results will be found, and the results will be presented as a list
6. Preview and recovery: Before starting the recovery process, preview the files to check the integrity of the data. If everything looks normal, select the necessary files and save them on another device.
It is important to remember the following points:
– The faster you act after deleting or formatting the flash drive, the more chances you have to recover lost data.
– Never write new data to the flash drive until the recovery process is complete.
- Regular backups are the best way to prevent potential data loss.
Software reliability may vary by vendor, so always read user reviews before using any tool.
