Windows 10 restore deleted files
Windows 10 has built-in tools for restoring deleted files. Here are some ways you can try:
1. Check the Recycle Bin: By default, deleted files are moved to the Recycle Bin before final deletion. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and select Open. If your file is there, right-click it and select "Restore".
2. Use the system defender function: Windows 10 automatically creates system restore points, which can help in case of accidental deletion or modification of a file.
– Press Win + X (or right-click the Start icon) and select System.
– Select “Protector” on the left of the menu
– Find the “Records function” section
– Now you can simply switch between days/times
3. Recuva program: This is a free program for data recovery from hard drives, flash drives or SD memory cards.
4. ShadowExplorer: This program allows you to view and restore previous versions of files created by the Shadow function.
5. Restoring from a backup: If you made regular backups of your data using archiving software or using a cloud storage service (for example, OneDrive), you may be able to restore a deleted file from there.
It is important to note that the faster you act after deleting the file, the greater the chances of its successful recovery. At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the physical state of the drive - if the data has already been overwritten with new information at the address of the old file - this complicates the process.
