Recovery of deleted Windows 7 files
Restoring deleted files in the Windows 7 operating system can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some ways that can help you recover lost data:
1. Checking the Recycle Bin: the first place to search for deleted files is your recycle bin on the desktop or the "My Computer" folder. If you accidentally deleted some files, they are usually moved to this folder before the final deletion.
2. Using the Ctrl+Z command: after pressing the Ctrl+Z keys, you can undo the last action (in this case – deleting the file). This method works only immediately after you delete the file.
3. Data Recovery Software: There is a variety of third-party software that offers the ability to scan your hard drive and search for lost or deleted files. Some of these programs are free (Recuva), while others are commercial products (EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard).
4. Creating a backup copy of data: to avoid such a situation in the future, it is always recommended to create backup copies of important files and folders. This can be done through cloud storage, an external hard drive, or a special backup program.
In any case, if you delete any data on a Windows 7 computer, you must immediately take measures to restore it. The sooner you start the data recovery process after deleting the file, the more chances you have to get it back undamaged.
