There are different situations in which you can accidentally delete data from your hard drive. You can mistakenly format the wrong partition, or accidentally delete the correct folder. It doesn't really matter how exactly the files you want were deleted. It is much more important how exactly to recover these files. If you decide to start the process of recovering files immediately after they have been erased, the chances of a successful recovery increase significantly. But even if the necessary files were deleted a long time ago, the probability of data recovery is quite high.
Necessary
Computer with Windows operating system, Filerecovery program
Instructions
Step 1
It is important to know that after you have deleted the necessary files or formatted a disk partition by mistake, in no case do not write any information to this partition before the recovery procedure, otherwise the probability of successful data recovery is reduced.
Step 2
Download the Filerecovery program from the Internet. Install the application on your computer and then launch it. The main menu of the program is divided into two windows. The left window contains a list of all partitions on the hard disk of the computer. From this list, select the one from which you want to recover your lost data. There is a toolbar at the top of the window. After you select the desired section, click on the Quick scan toolbar.
Step 3
After that, the process of scanning the hard disk partition will begin. Upon completion, a list of files that can be restored will appear in the right window of the program. Hold down the left mouse button and select all files. Then click on any of the files with the right mouse button and select the Recover item in the context menu. In the window that appears, also click Recover. The files will be restored.
Step 4
If the number of files found for recovery does not suit you, use another method. On the toolbar, click Super scan. An additional window will appear, in which there is an arrow opposite the Scan what inscription. Click on it and select the partition from which the files will be recovered.
Step 5
In this operating mode of the program, the scanning process will be very long, but after its completion, the percentage of files found for recovery will be maximum. It is recommended not to load the computer at this time with any other operations, as this may slow down the already long scanning process. After its completion, all files will be displayed in the right window of the program. The recovery process is the same as in the previous case.
