Windows restore deleted files

Restoring deleted files in Windows can be a fairly simple process if you act quickly and correctly. Here are some ways that can help you get back deleted files:

1. Check the Recycle Bin: If you accidentally deleted a file or folder, they are usually moved to the Recycle Bin before the final deletion. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and select Open. Here you will find all the items that were recently deleted from your computer.

2. Use the Ctrl+Z command: If you just deleted a single file or a group of several files (Ctrl+A to select all), you can use the Ctrl+Z key combination to cancel the last operation and return these element(s) to the state before ego/their removal.

3. Application of a system restore point: Windows automatically creates system points every time when the system configuration is changed
