Recovery of deleted word files
Restoring deleted Word files can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some steps that will help you recover lost files:
1. Check the Trash: the first place to look for a deleted file is your trash on your computer or the "Deleted" folder. If you accidentally deleted the Word file, it might still be there.
2. Use the "Undo" function: press the key combination Ctrl + Z (for Windows) or Command + Z (for Mac) to cancel the last changes and possible deletion of the file.
3. View temporary folders: Open Explorer on your computer and navigate to the following locations:
– For Windows 10/8/7/Vista: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
Office\UnsavedFiles
– For Mac OS X: /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/
Office/AutoRecovery
4. Restoration of previous versions through the data protection system of the operating system:
– Windows restore point settings.
Select the required hard drive -> Properties -> Tab "Protection" ->
Create -> Enter a description and click "Create".
– Time Machine for Mac OS X: Open Finder, select the folder with the Word files,
right-click (or hold Ctrl) and select “Restore
previous version".
5. Use data recovery software: if all the above methods do not help, you can use special software to recover deleted files. Some of these tools are:
– Recuva (Windows)
– Disk Drill (Mac)
Remember that the sooner you start the recovery process after deleting the Word file, the better the chances of a successful outcome.
