How to Recover Deleted Files from a Hard Drive

Accidentally deleting files can be frustrating, but recovery is often possible. Follow these steps: Check the Recycle Bin: If the file was recently deleted, it might still be in the Recycle Bin. Right-click the file and choose "Restore." Use File History (Windows): If File History is enabled, go to the folder where the file was stored, right-click, and select "Restore previous versions." Browse through the versions to recover the file. Try data recovery software: For permanently deleted files, use reliable recovery tools like Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. Install the software on a different drive to avoid overwriting the deleted data. Check backups: If you use cloud storage (e.g., OneDrive, Google Drive) or an external backup system, search for the file there. Act quickly: Stop using the hard drive to prevent overwriting the deleted files. The longer you wait, the harder recovery becomes. By following these steps, you have a good chance of retrieving your lost data!
