PC Users may accidentally delete useful files. If you have
lost important files from your hard drive, and you are sure that they have
been deleted, then there is no need to panic. It's easier to recover deleted
files than it is to restore them if they have been overwritten or corrupted,
or if the drive has been repartitioned or reformatted.
The reason that recovering deleted files is different from
other data recovery tasks is that it is easier. When a file is deleted from
your computer, it is not really deleted. It is simply removed from the list
of files in the folder.
If you're using Windows, and deleted the file using Windows Explorer, the
file will normally have been moved to the Recycle Bin. While it is in the
Recycle Bin, the file can easily be restored in its entirety, with no
problem at all. So the first thing to do when you want to recover a deleted
file is look in the Recycle Bin.
If the file you need isn't in the Recycle Bin - if you emptied the bin,
deleted the file using Shift Delete, deleted the file from within an
application or used some other method that bypassed the Recycle Bin - then
don't despair. It may still be recoverable. When you empty the Recycle Bin
or delete a file using another method, the file is still not really deleted.
The file name is removed from the list of files in the folder or the Recycle
Bin, and the space occupied by the file is made available to Windows for
reuse. But Windows does not reuse the space straight away, so the data
contained in the file will remain intact for some time to come, allowing the
possibility of recovery.
A file can be recovered or undeleted in its entirety right
after it has been deleted, and for a fair while afterwards. But the chances
of recovering the file intact decrease the longer you leave it. Because the
longer you leave it, the more likely it is that the computer will reuse all
or part of the file's disk space for something else.
If you have defragged the hard drive since the file was deleted, then
unfortunately you have dealt a severe blow you your chances of a successful
recovery. All the pointers to the location of the deleted data will have
been lost, so it is much less likely that undelete software tools will find
anything useful. In this case, you could try to use our windows data
recovery software, and choose "Deep Scan Recovery Module" to recover your
deleted files with the specific file types.
Our software can help you
undelete files that were deleted but are not in
the Recycle Bin are not provided as standard in Windows. The software
understands the internals of the system used to store files on a disk, and
can locate clues to the whereabouts of the disk space a lost file occupied.
Our Windows Data Recovery Software can also read the unallocated disk space,
the space your deleted files formerly occupied and which is available for
reuse. This space can't normally be read by programs.
It's advisable to have a second hard disk available, such as a removable
drive, USB Flash drive or a network drive, if you don't already have more
than one drive in your computer. You can install the recovery software on
this drive, and then save the files that you recover to it, without
overwriting space on your main hard drive that contains other deleted data.
To recover the deleted files, you could do it with our
