Search for deleted files
The search for deleted files can be useful if you accidentally deleted important data or want to recover information from a damaged disk. In this article, I will talk about several ways to find and restore deleted files.
1. Check the recycle bin: When you delete files on the computer, they are usually moved to the recycle bin before the final deletion. Open the Recycle Bin and check its contents - your file may still be there.
2. Use data recovery software: There are many programs for Windows and Mac OS X that allow you to scan your hard drive or other drives for lost or deleted data.
Some of the most popular programs are:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill
3. Turn to professionals: If the above methods do not help to return the necessary information or require a large amount of time/effort from the user, then you can turn to data recovery specialists for help. These are people with knowledge of the basics of working with data and specialized equipment that can restore deleted files even from damaged drives.
4. Prevention of data loss: To avoid problems with deletion or loss of files in the future, it is recommended to regularly create a backup copy of all your data on a separate storage device (for example, an external hard drive or a cloud service).
In any case, remember - the faster you start the process of searching for and restoring deleted files after their loss/deletion, the more chances you have to return the data without overwriting any information on your drive.
