Deleting files from your computer seems like an irreparable process. Despaired, you search through your recycle bin, but they are gone from there, as well. What can you do? Not much, would be your first answer, but we are here to offer you a solution that might just work if you have not deleted your files too much time ago.

When a file is deleted or the recycle bin is emptied, Windows does not actually delete the data from the hard drive. Instead, Windows marks the data as no longer needed and, therefore, ready to be overwritten when the occasion arises. This makes the data unreadable for the user, but still in reach of specific data recovery programs. And here is the good news! As long as it is not overwritten, the data is not lost and it can be recovered.

Where's my File?

This is far too common. Renaming files, misplacing them, or deleting them by accident happen to every computer user and it can be very disturbing news when important documents are involved. Before purchasing specific data recovery software, we will give you some easy tips on how to find your lost files using the tools that you already have.

Firstly, if you think you may have deleted it, don't run any programs or services that write data to your hard drive. Remember when I said deleted files will eventually get overwritten given enough time? Well, this is why it's wise not to provoke Windows into doing any data output to your hard disk while your file is still on a milk carton.

Now it is the time to search the file through the most convenient method: Windows Search. Write down the whole name of the file, or, if you cannot remember it, at least a part of it. If successful, don't forget to create a backup of your lost and found file, by saving it on an USB pen drive or e-mailing it to yourself.

Out of Luck? Don't Despair

So, you've scoured your hard drive with Windows Search and have come up empty. It may be time to bring in the big guns. If you query Google, you'll find scads of file recovery utilities, alongside the supposedly more reputable pay-before-you-own programs. One example, FreeUndelete, may be just what you need to get your file back; it's interface is clean, simple, easy to use, and it's clean from the nasty, groping tendrils of spyware and adware!

Bring Back Your Data From The Grave - Accidental Hard Drive Formatting

It happens. Just after you have formatted your hard drive, you remember that you have forgotten to get some important data from it. This is not as easy; this problem is more complex than the one presented earlier and, therefore, requires a power tool capable of getting your data back from the grave. File Scavenger, for only $49USD, is the software you need. It has the powers of its most expensive challengers, but it does not cause you to break the bank.

Recovery Of A Near Dead Hard Drive

Is scan disk showing you bad clusters? Do you get any strange errors when you try to save data on your hard drive? Is Windows behaving erratically? Those are the signs of a hard drive living its last moments. Don't waste time! Backup! Backup everything you think you may need from it! Make copies on another hard drive or write down important data on USB pen drives or even CD-R's or DVD's. This will save you, and your precious data, as well.
