Don’t you hate it when you accidently delete an important file. When you delete the email with you important account details in it. In this article I hope to explain three easy ways to recover deleted files.
Recover Deleted Files From Recycle Bin
The first method that I will discuss is to recover deleted files from recycle bin. Usually when you delete a file it is moved to the recycle bin (If you are using a mac it is called the Trash). This is easily accessed from the desktop of your computer (If you are using a mac, it is in the dock). To restore the file you find it in the recycle bin, copy it then paste it in the place you want to restore it to. The recycle bin is great for recovering deleted files from hard drive, but what if you accidently deleted them from the recycling bin.
Software To Recover Deleted Files
Another way to restore deleted files is to use a program to recover deleted files. These programs can recover deleted files even if they have been deleted from your recycling bin. Some of them also have options to recover your har drive if it crashes. Also when you delete some files, they bypass the recycle bin, but these programs can still recover them. To install these programs just search in google, “software to recover deleted files” You can take your pick from the many options given. Once you download it, install the software by following the pormpts given by the program.
Here are some different programs that you can use to recover deleted files:
- Pandora Recovery is a free tool that allows you to recover deleted files, even if they have been deleted recycle bin.
- FileRestorePlus (Formerly called UndeletePlus) is another free peice of software to recover deleted files.
These programs can recover deleted files because when you delete a file, the file is not actually deleted. It is only marked as free space on youyr hard drive and can be written over. This means that the longer you leave it the more likely it is to be written over and the less likely it will be to recover it.
Recover Files From A Scratched CD or DVD
If you would like to recover files from a ruined optical drive (CD or DVD) there are several different programs made to do this. These programs work by reading the unscratched sections of the disc in order to save as much data as possible.
Backup
To prevent this from happening again, remember to take regular backups of your hard drive.
Remember, when you want to recover a deleted file, first check in the recycle bin. If it is not there download one of the many deleted file recovery programs out there. If it has been a long time since you deleted the file, youi will be less likely to be able to recover it. And one of the most important tips, backup your hard drive! This can be tedious and boring but it needs to be done. I hope this article helps youy to recover those files!
