 Recover
a deleted file or folder

When
deleting a file or folder from your computer the best thing that I can
recommend is to always think twice. Never delete any files or folders
without taking that split second to reflect on the consequences.
Do you really need to delete that particular file right
this second. Of course many people also delete file accidently so here are a
few tips to try and recover them.
Recovery of a deleted file or folder depends
on:
-
Wether the file or folder went to the recycle bin
-
Wether it is still in the recycle bin or has it been deleted from there
also?
-
How long ago did the file or folder get deleted?
-
Has it been over written by other files?
|
Obviously the best scenario would be to have just accidentally deleted a
file or folder and it is still in the recycle bin.
How to recover a deleted file:
-
Double click on the Recycle Bin on the desktop.
-
Then
right click on the correct file and choose to restore
it.
If
the file or folder has been deleted from the
recycle bin you will need a program to recover them. As long as the space
where the file originally existed hasn't been overwritten. I have tried the
free trial version of
Undelete-now.com and it works fine.
Notes:
-
The
best way to recover your deleted files or folders is to not delete them in
the first place.
-
Instead of deleting files to clean your computer off, backup all files, then
after a month or so delete them then.
-
Hide
important files so children cannot accidentally delete them.
