Efficiently Recover Deleted Files from Hard Drive

recover-data-from-hard-driveThere are many reasons as to why your data could be lost, missing or deleted. It could be that you either accidentally deleted a file(s), your file(s) could have been corrupt and deleted, a program could have deleted the file(s), or a file could be password protected for some reason. Because of the vulnerability of files, there have been several ways to recover these files. In this post, I have listed a few ways to recover data.

Before you begin, make sure to verify that these files have actually been deleted and are missing. Sometimes the files may have moved to a different folder. Search the hard drive one last time to see is they have just been misplaced.

Recover file from Backup

As I have said many times before, also backup your data, that way, when this does happen, you have a way of getting the file back by taking it from your back up and putting the file on your computer again.

Restore from Recycling Bin or Trash

If you have an Apple OS or Microsoft Windows, it could be possible that you accidentally moved the file or files to the recycle bin or trash. That should be the next place to look. Often times, you could have deleted the file unknowingly. It happens to many of us.

Restore from a downloaded program

Downloaded programs can be a good way to recover your data. You must be very careful when choosing the program because sometimes it can make the lost data go away forever. You must do some extensive research and make sure you choose a program that is best and works with your operating system.
