How to Recover Deleted Folders
Whether it happens by accident or not, there is likely going to be a time where you are looking for a
file on your computer and you realize it is no longer there. If it is a file that you considered vitally
important, a sense of panic may immediately set in as you try to figure out what you are going to do.
Sometimes there is just no easy way to re-create the data from scratch. Maybe you just do not have
the time to do it or you do not have enough information to go on to do it yourself. In this day and age,
it is important that you are aware of methods you can use in how to recover deleted files.
Method A:
Recover file from backup
If the file has been backed up to floppy disk or other medium it is recommended that the file be
restored from that backup if the file cannot be found.
Restore from Recycling Bin or Trash
If you are running Apple MacOS, Microsoft Windows and the file has been recently deleted it is
possible that the file may still be in the Trash or Recycle Bin. If present within this area it can be
recovered.
Recovering a deleted file from the Windows Recycle Bin.
Stop What You're Doing
When your operating system deletes a file, all it really does is mark the space on your hard drive that
your file occupies as free space. It's still there, but your computer is now perfectly happy to write
new data on top of it—at which point the file recovery process becomes a lot more difficult. That
means you should do as little computing as possible until you find the file you're looking for, since
every time you save a new file—every time your computer writes information to your hard
drive—your chances of recovering the file go down.
Method B: Find the Right File Recovery Program
