Windows file recovery
Restoring files in the Windows operating system may be necessary for various reasons, such as accidental deletion, disk damage, or operating system failure. In this article, I will talk about some ways to recover files on a computer running Windows.
1. Trash: The first place to check is your computer's trash. If you've just deleted a file and it's still in the Recycle Bin, you can easily restore it back to its original location.
2. Using the “Ctrl + Z” command: If you accidentally moved or copied a file and want to undo the last step, use the “Ctrl + Z” key combination. This allows you to undo the last action without using the "Undo" function.
3. "Previous version of the file" function: The Windows operating system has the function of automatically creating save points (also known as previous versions) for certain types of data and user directories whenever these elements are changed. To access previous versions of a file:
– Find the desired file;
– Right-click on the file and select “Properties”;
– Go to the "Previous Versions" tab;
– Select the desired previous version of the file and click "Restore".
4. Using data recovery programs: If you cannot find a deleted or lost file using the above methods, you can try using special data recovery programs such as Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, or Disk Drill. These tools scan your drive for deleted or damaged files and can help you recover data.
It is very important to note that the faster you start the recovery process after accidentally deleting a file (or the second type of loss), the more chances you have to successfully restore it.
