How to Recover Lost Files

Posted on by

Anyone who has ever used a computer for any length of time has experienced the stomach-dropping feeling of losing important files through bad karma or use Delete key discretion. Sometimes, though, what’s lost can be found again.

Method A:

 

  1. Double-click on the Recycle Bin in Windows or the Trash on Mac to see if the file is still there.
  2. If you find the file, drag it to the desktop. Return the file to its original location in Windows, click on the file and select Restore from the drop-down menu.
  3. If the file is no longer in the Recycle Bin or Trash, look for backup. If your PC is on a network that has regular backups, check with the system administrator to see if it is possible to retrieve the saved copy of the file.

 

Method B:

 

Try using a commercial file-recovery utility that scans the disk for recognizable data (you can buy one for less than $100). When you delete a file, the operating system probably won’t erase the actual bits from the disk until it needs them for something else; therefore, you may be able to recover some data.
