How do I recover deleted files from my computer?

Accidentally deleting important files can be a heart-stopping moment. Fortunately, there are ways to retrieve them. 

File Recovery Methods

  1. Recycle Bin: Check here first. Often, deleted files are just moved to the bin. 
  2. File History: If you have file history backup enabled, you can revert to previous versions. 
  3. Data Recovery Software: Tools like Recuva or Stellar can help recover lost files. 
  4. Professional Services: As a last resort, consider data recovery services. 

Preventing Future Data Loss

  • Regularly back up data to external drives or cloud services. 
  • Be cautious when deleting files or formatting drives. 
  • Install a reliable antivirus to prevent malware-related data loss. 

Though data recovery is possible, prevention is always better than cure.
