Recovery of deleted files from the computer

Restoring deleted files from a computer can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some steps that will help you recover lost data:

1. Check the Recycle Bin: If you accidentally deleted files or folders on your computer, the first place to check is the Recycle Bin on your desktop or in Windows/Mac Finder.

2. Use the "Undo" function: Many programs have the option to undo the last changes (Ctrl+Z). This can work both when deleting a file from the windows system manager and when using text editors.

3. Use specialized software: There are various data recovery programs that can be downloaded for free or bought online. Some of them are Recuva (for Windows), Disk Drill (Windows and Mac), EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition (Windows and Mac).

4. Seek help from professionals: If all else fails, turning to service centers using this technique is the most effective method.

One very useful tip would be to save backup copies of your files to an external hard drive or cloud storage to avoid data loss.
