Restoring folders after formatting

Restoring folders after formatting can be a difficult task, but in some cases it is possible to recover deleted data. Here are some methods that can help:

1. Using specialized software: There are many data recovery programs, such as Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. Install one of these programs on the second drive and run it to search for lost files.

2. Checking backups: If you have a regular system for creating backup copies of data (such as Time Machine on Mac), check your most recent backups and copy the necessary folders back to your computer.

3. Seeking professional help: If you were unable to perform the data recovery operation on your own or if it was unsuccessful, you can contact service centers or specialists for this issue.

At the same time, the following steps will be very useful:
– DO NOT write new information to a formatted disk.
– Disconnect from the Internet until all data is restored.
– Save all found files on another disk or drive so as not to overwrite them accidentally.

It is important to note that the chances of successful data recovery after formatting depend on many factors: the time since formatting, the amount of new data recorded, and the state of the disk itself. Therefore, the sooner you start the recovery process, the greater the probability of success.
