How do I recover my accidentally removed files?

Asked By mr_poe 220 points N/A Posted on - 04/28/2011

I had accidentally removed all my files after reinstalling Windows using my factory restore CD. Is there any way that I can recover my deleted files on my computer?

These are so important, so I need to get them back.

Yes, there are some ways to retrieve data that has been removed from a computer system. Once you have deleted your files, they will automatically go to the recycle bin. So, you must first check your recycle bin to see if you can find the data there.

What if I deleted those files in the recycle trash folder? Or, should I say that I also reformatted my hard drive?

It depends also with your system compatibility. I knew it because I used to download the free software before and it doesn’t work for me, unfortunately, I’ve lost my files. Now, what I am doing is to back up all my data on my PC using external disk.

You should also check the file settings which will show you what files can be recovered. Because that application has worked for me in the past, I have recovered my deleted files so fast and I downloaded it for free.

How do I recover my accidentally removed files?

If you deleted the files while restoring your computer, you cannot recover those files anymore.

When you perform a factory reset, your hard drive has been wiped out.

However, you can use the Windows.old folder.

You can find more information on the given links:

Restore your personal files after custom installation

Restore your computer to previous Windows installation

Alternatively, try using the Recuva software.

I heard this can recover deleted files even after formatting your computer.
