Recovery of deleted files from the Windows 10 recycle bin

Restoring deleted files from the recycle bin in Windows 10 is quite simple. Here are some steps that will help you recover deleted files:

1. Open the Recycle Bin on the desktop by double-clicking or right-clicking and select "Open".

2. Browse the contents of the Basket and find the desired file or folder.

3. Right-click on the selected item and select "Restore". This will move it back to where it was removed from.

4. If you wanted to restore all items at once, you can click on the option "Remove all" from the top of the Basket window.

5. Check your home directory (usually C:\Users\YourUsername) to make sure the object was successfully moved back.

If the desired object cannot be found at the root of this section, the possibility of its complete/partial evaporation is very large; at the same time, there is salvation: the use of third-party programs representing functional scanning of the system for the purpose of retrieving data serves as an alternative method for confirming such cases.

It is important to remember that files can only be restored from the Recycle Bin until they have been completely deleted. Therefore, it is recommended to act as soon as possible after accidental deletion or erroneous operation with files.
