Restore deleted files on the laptop

Restoring deleted files on a laptop can be quite a difficult task, especially if a lot of time has passed since they were deleted. However, there are several methods that you can try.

1. Check the trash: If you accidentally deleted files, they are usually moved to the trash before final deletion. Just open the recycle bin on your desktop and check its contents.

2. Use the "Undo" function: Some programs have the "Undo" function, which allows you to return the last action (including deleting a file). You can use the Ctrl + Z key combination or right-click on a free area of the program screen and select the "Cancel" option.

3. Use system restore: Windows offers an opportunity to perform a system restore to an earlier state of the computer, when the necessary files were still present on the hard disk.
– To run System Restore, go to Start -> Settings -> Update and Security -> Restore Options.
– Click Start to start the system recovery process and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Use specialized programs for data recovery: There are various third-party programs that can help with the recovery of deleted files. Some of them are free (for example, Recuva), and others are paid (for example, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard). Make sure that you download such software from official sites or verified resources.

5. Contact an information security specialist: If all the above methods do not give results or if the deleted file was particularly valuable to you, it is better to seek help from experienced IT specialists or computer support companies.

It is important to note that the longer the time has passed since the file was deleted and/or your laptop was used
