Recovery of deleted Windows 8 files
Restoring deleted files in Windows 8 can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some ways that can help you recover lost data:
1. Checking the Recycle Bin: the first place to search for deleted files is your recycle bin on your desktop or the Recycle Bin folder on your computer. If you accidentally deleted a file, it usually moves to this folder.
2. Using the Ctrl+Z command: after pressing the Ctrl+Z keys, you can undo the last step (including file deletion). This method works only if you have not yet performed other operations after deleting the file.
3. Data Recovery Software: There are various third-party software available for download from the Internet that offer the ability to scan your hard drive and find all lost or deleted files.
Some of these programs are:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Stellar Data Recovery
4. Refer to the system restore point: Windows automatically creates save points before making a certain number of changes to the system. You can use the "System Restore" function to roll back to the previous save point, which will allow you to restore deleted files.
5. Seek help from professionals: if all the above methods did not work or the data is very important and requires special skills to extract it, it is better to contact a data recovery company or an IT specialist.
Whichever method you choose, keep the following in mind:
– The faster you act after deleting a file, the greater the chances of its successful recovery.
– Never write new data to the hard drive before the recovery procedure is complete.
Good luck!
