Everybody accidentally deletes something important now and then from their PC. And that can be the cause of great panic when you find out what you’ve done. The first thing that comes to anyone’s mind is, can you recover deleted files on PC? Well, you’d be glad to know that it’s possible.
In this article, we will talk about in detail how you can recover any file that has been erased from your PC. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
Recovering Temporarily Deleted Files
The files you delete are temporarily deleted first. We know this is a little obvious for the adept PC user. But for those new to using computers, it’s something that you should know.
The recycle bin takes up 5% of your total disk space. That means if you have a 1TB hard drive or SSD the recycle bin should be about 46 GB. So, if the file you delete can fit inside your recycle bin’s available space, it should just temporarily move there when you hit delete.
So, before you panic, go and check for your file in your recycle bin folder. It should be somewhere at the top-left of your desktop home screen.
If you can’t find it there then just click on the windows icon at the bottom-left of your screen and type recycle bin. You will now find an option labeled “Recycle Bin“. Click on it and a new folder will open. You should find your deleted file there.
If you’re on mac then you’ll find the bin folder with just a different name that is “Trash Bin“. You can use the “Finder” to search for it.
Recovering Permanently Deleted Files
Sometimes files are permanently deleted. If the file you deleted is bigger than the available space on your recycle bin then it often skips being temporarily allocated to the recycle bin folder.
Also, if you’ve purposefully or accidentally turned off this temporary allocation of deleted files feature then your files would be completely deleted from your device.
But, guess what? There’s still some hope. Even permanently deleted files can be recovered with the use of specific recovery software and technical expertise.
You see most PC users use NTFS file systems which do not delete files. When you hit delete on your PC it just considers the previously occupied space to be available for rewriting. That means the data for your files are still there for a while. So, if you’ve accidentally deleted a file from your PC then taking your storage to a qualified data recovery service could recover them.
But, be fast. Waiting around could replace or corrupt the data for your important files to the point that they will be unrecoverable. So, act fast.
