Recover accidentally deleted files

Recovering accidentally deleted files can be quite a difficult task, but there are several methods that you can try.

1. Check the Recycle Bin: If you deleted files using the standard method (for example, right-clicking and selecting "Delete"), they may be in your Recycle Bin. Just open it and check the contents.

2. Use the key combination Ctrl + Z: This key combination is generally recognized for canceling the last action in most programs. Open the window of the program or Windows Explorer and press this combination to return accidentally deleted files.

3. Use the functions of the system administration of the operating system: Some operating systems have tools for automatic backup of data or points of return of applications/files before changing the state of the computer.
– For Windows users, this is System Restore (Save Points) or File History (File History).
– For Mac OS X users, this is Time Machine.

4. Use specialized software: There are programs that specialize in restoring deleted files. Some of them are free or have trial versions:
– Recuva (for Windows)
– Disk Drill (available for Windows and Mac OS X)

5. Contact a professional data recovery service: If all of the above did not help, you can contact a specialist data recovery company for help.

It is important to note that the faster a recovery action is requested after accidentally deleting a file, the greater the chances of its successful return without damage.
