It will restore the data on the flash drive after formatting

Restoring data on a flash drive after formatting can be a difficult task, but in most cases, data can be returned using special programs.

Before starting the process, it is important to consider several points:

1. Immediately stop using the flash drive and stop writing new files to it. This will minimize the possibility of overwriting lost data.
2. Connect your flash drive to the computer and run the data recovery program (we will consider a couple of such programs below).
3. Scan the flash drive using the selected tool until the program finds all available files or until the desired result is achieved.

There are many free and commercial data recovery programs that you can use:

1. Recuva: this is one of the most common free programs for Windows from the developers of Piriform.
2. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard: this program provides a wide functional set of options for scanning and quick retrieval of remote information.
3.PhotoRec: although the name of this utility indicates only work with images, it can also restore other types of files.

When using any data recovery program, follow the instructions provided by the developer. Please note that the result is not always guaranteed and depends on many factors (such as time since formatting or overwriting of new data).
