Tips for recovering deleted files

The sooner you realize you’ve accidentally deleted a file, the better your chances of recovering it. When you notice your loss, don’t save anything to the disk and don’t even download or install a file recovery utility if the file was on your PC or laptop’s hard drive as it might overwrite the very files you’re trying to recover.

Some recovery software can run directly from a USB flash drive but you must download it using a different computer.

• Download and install a Recovery software to Windows desktop / laptop
• Open the setup and follow the main screen procedures
• Two options will be showed on first screen of the tool
• Use “Delete File Recovery” option to extract your deleted files or use “Lost File Recovery” option to get back your lost files from storage device
• The program scans and shows all the internal and external drives connected to your computer
• Select the drive or partition from which you need to restore files and click “Next”
• The application scans the chosen drive and displays all the retrievable files and folders
• Mark the files and folders which you want to bring back
• Lastly, browse for the destination location to save your rescued files. However not to the same storage device from where you have restored them.
