Digital data loss can prove to be a devastating accident. It doesn’t matter whether the data was personal in nature or professional. Both situations can prove to be a hard blow for the user. Data loss is usually caused by technical malfunctions and be somewhat out of your hands. But one thing you can’t blame machines for is accidently deleting the files yourself. However, once you do realize the mistake, the first thought that is bound to pop in your mind is how to recover the files or if file recovery is even possible?
Well, we are here to tell you that it is, in rare cases. But you have to act fast.
Check Your System
First make sure that the files are well and truly gone. More often than not they will stay in the recycle bin for up to a week (or depending on your settings). You can simply go to the recycle bin, right click and select ‘restore’. This will return your file to its previous drive.
Restore Previous Version
If you can’t find your file in the recycle bin, then do not worry, especially if you have Windows 8. Go to the drive (or folder) where your file was. Right click and select ‘restore previous version’. But be warned, this will only work if your files have been backed up by file history. So make sure you’ve enabled file history. If you don’t know how; ask us.
Data Recovery Software
You can find data recovery software easily on the internet. Through them, you can easily recover recently deleted photos, short videos, and some word documents. But free versions of these software often offer limited features and data recovery. You might have to buy the software which will end up costing you a lot.
