Recovery of deleted files
Recovering deleted files is an important task for many computer users. In this article, we will consider several methods that will help to return accidentally or intentionally deleted data.
1. Check the Recycle Bin: If you have deleted files from your computer, they are usually moved to the recycle bin of the operating system (Recycle Bin on Windows and Trash on Mac). Just open the corresponding folder and find the desired file. You can right-click on it and select "Restore" to restore it to its original location.
2. Use data recovery software: There is a large amount of software designed specifically to recover deleted files from hard drives or other data storage devices. Some of the most popular tools are Recuva (for Windows), Disk Drill (available for both Windows and MacOS) and PhotoRec (a more advanced tool).
3. Turn to professionals: If all the previous methods did not work or if you lost very valuable information, then it is best to turn to data recovery professionals. They have specialized software and hardware that can help recover deleted files even from damaged drives.
In any case, if you are faced with data loss, it is recommended to take measures to limit the use of your computer or storage device until recovery is completed. This is due to the following: the more new data is written to the hard disk after deleting the file, the more difficult it will be to restore it successfully.
The reliability of the methods for each specific case depends on various factors (including the operating system, the type of drive, and the time that has passed since the operation). Therefore, it is always better to be extremely careful when working with data and make backup copies of all valuable information
