Recovery of txt files after deletion
Restoring deleted txt files can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some recovery methods:
1. Check the recycle bin: If you accidentally deleted a file, it could end up in the recycle bin of your operating system (Windows or macOS). Open the recycle bin and find the desired text file. Right-click on it and select "Restore".
2. Use the “Undo” function: Some word processing programs have a function to undo the last changes (usually Ctrl + Z for Windows or Command + Z for macOS). If you have just deleted the contents of the file without saving, this command will restore it.
3. Data recovery software: There are various third-party software tools that will help you find a deleted file on your computer's hard drive or a second drive that stores information.
For example:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill
4. Refer to backups: If you have regular data backups, you can restore a deleted txt file from the last available copy. Check your backup drives or cloud storage for the presence of the required file.
5. Seek the help of specialists: If all the described methods did not lead to a result and your text file was of great value to you (commercial information, personal data), then you should contact data recovery professionals.
They can use more complex techniques and programs to successfully complete the task.
It is important to note that the faster you start the recovery process after deleting the file, the more chances you have to return it without loss.
