Restoring deleted files from the desktop
Restoring deleted files from the desktop 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 recycle bin: When you delete files from the desktop or from any other folder on your computer, they are usually moved to the recycle bin of the Windows operating system or the trash folder of Mac OS X. Open the corresponding folder and check its contents.
2. Use the "Undo" function: If you have recently deleted a file(s), you can use the "Undo" command to restore it/them without visiting the Recycle Bin.
– Press Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Cmd + Z (Mac).
– Or right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select the “Cancel” option.
3. Program for data recovery: If the previously proposed methods did not work or time has already passed after deleting the file(s), then the next step is the use of specialized programs for data recovery:
– Recuva (Windows): This is a free program that allows you to recover deleted files from a hard drive or other data storage devices. With its help, you can scan your desktop and find lost files.
– Disk Drill (Mac OS X): This application offers a simple way to restore deleted data on Mac devices.
4. Turn to professional services: If all the above methods do not give results, then the last step is to turn to data recovery companies for help. They have certain expertise and tools for working with complex cases of information loss.
It is important to note that the sooner you start the recovery process after deleting the file(s), the more likely it will be successfully recovered. Therefore, I recommend that you start performing the specified steps as soon as possible!
