Strange to say, the more carefully we protect important documents, the easier it is to lose the chain at critical times. Once important files are deleted by mistake, do we still have a chance to retrieve these lost file data? How to recover from file deletion? Don't worry, Bian Xiao will immediately show you how to recover when important files are accidentally deleted.
Method 1: Recycle Bin Search
Please don't panic when our data suddenly disappears or useful documents are deleted by mistake when cleaning up files. Under normal circumstances, deleted documents will be temporarily stored in the location of the recycle bin. If you find that the data is lost, you can first open the recycle bin of the computer and browse for the target data. If yes, right click to resume. This is the simplest and most convenient way to recover data!
Method 2: Backup and Recovery
Every time I mention accidental deletion, someone says I remember to back up. This is not nonsense. If you back up your important files in advance, don't worry about deleting them by mistake! If you have the habit of backing up your system regularly, losing files will save you a lot of trouble. If not, you'd better start the backup now.
Windows provides the system's own backup recovery function. Take Win 10 as an example, click start > settings > update and security > backup > add drive, and then select the path where you want to save the backup file, which can be a mobile hard disk or a network location. The recovery method is also very simple. Just enter "Restore files" in the search box of the taskbar, and then find "Restore files using file history" to find the backup version that needs to be restored.
Method 3: Data recovery software
In addition, we can also use data recovery software. What I recommend in this small series is easy data recovery software, which supports the retrieval of lost data caused by deletion, formatting, partition loss, operating system crash, partial virus infection and so on. It is not only used to recover deleted documents and format recovery, but also suitable for many other data loss scenarios, such as human error, power failure, system crash, reinstallation or upgrade of the system, software crash or other unknown reasons.
The software supports Windows10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP, Windows Server 2019/2016/2012/2008/2003 and other operating systems.
After downloading and installing, we can also refer to the following steps to try to recover the data.
Step 1. Run the Simple Data Recovery Wizard to scan and delete the partition where the file/folder is located. If it is an external device, please successfully connect the device to the computer and select the relevant device for scanning.
Step two. During or after scanning, you can click the found file/folder to preview. Deleted files/folders are usually under the "Deleted" option bar on the left. You can quickly find related files/folders through the "Filter" and "Search" functions in the upper right corner of the software.
Step three. After finding the deleted file/folder, directly check and perform the "restore" operation. Remember not to save the deleted files/folders on the source disk after recovery, so as not to overwrite the original data and increase the difficulty of data recovery.
Does anyone know how to delete and restore files? Generally speaking, the above situation can help us recover the data. When storing files, we try not to store important files in the partition where the system is located. Usually, the paging file of the system will be stored in the system partition, and the operating system will read it at any time, which means that the deleted file may be overwritten by the data written by the system at any time whether we write new files or not.
