Today, we use computers every day. And people may mistakenly delete some important files during using computer. In general, it’s happened to most of us. Therefore, how to recover deleted files becomes a topic of concern to everyone. However, is it possible to recover deleted files easily?
As we know, when we delete a file from our computer, it’s actually just moved to the Recycle Bin, where it’s temporarily stored until the Recycle Bin is emptied. Therefore, this gives us an opportunity to recover accidentally deleted files and restore them to their original locations.
1:Open the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop.
2:Click needed file (or files), and then click “Restore this item” (or “Restore all items”) on the toolbar. (as shown below)
Thus, the files will be restored to their original locations on our computer.
However, what if we emptied recycle bin by mistake? At this time, can we recover deleted files?
In general, when we delete a file, the hard disk will mark the related information on “0” track with a special tag so as to tell operating system that this file is not accessible and can’t be used for storing new data from now on. And, if we mistakenly empty the recycle bin after deleting file, we can still recover it since the real content of deleted file still remains in computer and the space originally occupied by this file is shown as released in the system. And the content will not disappear until it is overwritten by new data.
Nevertheless, how to recover deleted files from emptied recycle bin?
