Recovery of deleted files from a flash drive
Restoring deleted files from a flash drive can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some steps that will help you recover lost data:
1. Stop using the flash drive: As soon as you discover that files have been deleted or lost on your flash drive, stop using it immediately. This is due to the fact that new data can replace old information on the device.
2. Use a specialized software tool: There are many programs for data recovery from various types of storage (including USB flash drives). Some popular tools in this area are Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Disk Drill. Be sure to choose verified software from a reliable supplier.
3. Start the scan: Connect your flash drive to the computer and run the selected data recovery program.
a) Select the desired disk/driver from the list of available options.
b) Start a full scan of all deleted files on this device.
4. Mark found files: After the scan is complete, the program will show a list of found deleted files. Mark the ones you want to restore.
5. Restore the selected data: Select the destination to save the restored data and start the recovery process.
It is important to remember that the success of the operation may depend on several factors:
– The amount of time from the moment the file is deleted to the start of the file recovery procedure.
– How much new information was recorded on the device after data loss.
– Physical state of the device itself (flash drive).
If the software does not give the desired result or your flash drive is damaged/does not work properly - I recommend contacting computer security specialists or a service center to receive a more thorough assistance in this case.
