DATA RECOVERY:
March, 2018:
What is data recovery?
In computing, data recovery is a process of restoring inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged or formatted data from secondary storage, removable media or files, when the data stored in them cannot be accessed logically.
Before we Get started:
Before we get started, it's important to emphasize one thing in particular:
Recovering deleted files from your hard drive, media card, flash drive, iPhone, or some other device is possible and is not a crazy thing to try to do.
We, of course, can't guarantee that your accidentally deleted file can be recovered but there's a good chance it can be, especially if it hasn't been too long since it's been removed.
Here's the thing - files that get deleted aren't usually truly removed but are instead just hidden, waiting to be overwritten by something else. You can take advantage of this fact and recover deleted files you want back!
Time Required:
Depending on how long ago the file was deleted, your habits on emptying the Recycle Bin, and some other factors, recovering files you've deleted could take a few minutes or up to an hour or so.
Tips:
Stop using your computer! Apart from the specific tasks I outline during the rest of this tutorial, the smartest thing you can do is to stop writing data to the drive that contained the deleted file.
As I mentioned above, files that are deleted are just hidden. The only way the file you want to recover will remove completely if the file is overwritten by the same physical space it occupied on the drive. So don't do anything that might cause that to happen.
Most tasks like installing software, downloading or streaming music or videos, etc. Doing those things won't necessarily overwrite your file, but the chances go up the more you do them.
How to Recover Deleted Files:
Download a free file recovery program and use it to search for and recover your deleted files. If the files you're looking for have already been emptied from the Recycle Bin, a file recovery tool can help.
I'm a huge fan of 7 data recovery, my top pick in my list, but if you don't like it for some reason, or if you try it and it doesn't find the file you need to recover, by all means, work down the list.
