How can I retrieve lost data that I had deleted accidentally

Asked By joey keen 190 points N/A Posted on - 11/15/2012

 

Hello everyone,

How can I retrieve lost data that I had deleted accidentally? Some of the deleted documents files were so big they by-passed the recycle bin. I am clueless on how to go about this. There is information on the files that I want to use. What program can I use to recovers such data? The program should be cheap and easy to use.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Joey,

 

Deleted files and lost data are usually remain intact in the memory unless they are overwritten with other data. What is deleted is the path or access to the address of the data. Most Recovery software can help you track those data even if the pathways were deleted.

Hi Joey,

Deleting the files is quite natural. In case you have deleted it unknowingly, then to restore it we have plenty of options.

To check in the recycle bin

To check on the backup to restore it

Start > Control panel > System and Maintenance > Backup and restore > Restore my files

You can also recover it by going to the previous versions.

If the above things don't work for you, then you can go to the recovery software File restore professional.
