How to recover deleted files, like documents and photos, from your Windows device for free.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to recover permanently deleted files for free on Windows 10/8/7:
Losing important files can be a frustrating experience, especially when you have accidentally permanently deleted them. Fortunately, there are a few ways to recover your deleted files for free on Windows 10/8/7. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Stop using your computer
As soon as you realize that you've deleted an important file, stop using your computer. Any additional activity on your computer can overwrite the deleted file and make it impossible to recover.
Step 2: Check the Recycle Bin
The first place to look for your deleted files is the Recycle Bin. Double-click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop, locate the deleted file and right-click on it. Select "Restore" to recover the file. If the file is not in the Recycle Bin, move on to the next step.
Step 3: Use a file recovery software
There are many free file recovery software options available online that you can use to recover your deleted files. Some popular options include Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Disk Drill. Here's how to use Recuva:
Download and install Recuva on your computer.
Launch Recuva and select the type of file you want to recover.
Select the location where the file was stored before it was deleted.
Click on the "Scan" button and wait for Recuva to scan your computer for the deleted file.
Once the scan is complete, select the file you want to recover and click on the "Recover" button.
Step 4: Use a system restore point
If you have created a system restore point before deleting the file, you can use it to restore your computer to a previous state and recover the deleted file. Here's how to use a system restore point:
Type "System Restore" in the search bar and select "Create a restore point".
In the System Properties window, click on the "System Restore" button.
Select the restore point that was created before the file was deleted.
Click on the "Scan for affected programs" button to see which programs and files will be affected by the restore process.
Click on the "Next" button and then "Finish" to start the restore process.
That's it! With these simple steps, you can recover permanently deleted files for free on Windows 10/8/7.
