Solution 3. Recover deleted files in Windows 10 with Windows File Recovery.

As long as you have at least the Windows 10 May 2020 Update (Windows 10 2004) installed, you’ll have access to Windows File Recovery – although you’ll need to install it from the Microsoft Store. This is Microsoft’s own free data recovery tool, but it’s very different from programs like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard because it’s a command-line tool. This means that it does not use a familiar system of icons and menus, but is text-based and therefore not everyone will be able to cope with it. Due to the possibility of something going wrong, Windows File Recovery is only recommended for slightly more experienced computer users. Before you start using Windows File Recovery, you need to prepare yourself for two things: There are a number of conditions you should be aware of:

You need a secondary drive for data recovery – this can be a regular hard drive or an external USB drive.
You need to know the exact location where your deleted files were originally stored.

Here’s how to use Windows File Recovery to recover deleted files in Windows 10: Step 1. Open the Microsoft Store app and search for Window File Recovery. Now download and install the app by clicking on the “Get” button. Step 2. Open Windows File Recovery from the Start menu shortcut. Solution source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-file-recovery/9n26s50ln705?activetab=pivot:overviewtab from Microsoft official website Step 3 .. Use the syntax given below to start the deleted file recovery process. The basic command line is: winfr source-drive: destination-drive: [/switches] For example: winfr C: D: /n \Users\Documents\test.docx. This command restores a deleted Word document named test that was stored on the C: drive and saves it to the D: drive. Step 4. You can then follow the on-screen instructions to finish recovering the deleted files. This method of data recovery is not suitable for everyone, as different commands are required for each scenario. It is also worth mentioning that it cannot help you in every case. For example, it cannot recover files after a virus attack or a lost partition. In these cases, it is better to turn to EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, as described above.

Solution 4. Recover deleted files in Windows 10 from a file backup or previous version.

These two solutions will only work if you set up a backup or open the File History feature before the data loss occurs. If no backup is available, you still need data recovery software to recover permanently deleted files on Windows 10.

Click on the “Backup” section on the left. Step 2. Select “Backup and Restore (Windows 7)”. Click “Restore My Files” > “Browse for Files” or “Browse for Folders” to select the backup you created earlier. Step 3. Select where you want to save your files. In case of a name conflict, Windows will warn you. Select “Copy and replace”, “Do not copy” or “Copy but keep both files” as needed, and then wait for the restore process to complete.

2. Recover deleted files in Windows 10 from previous versions.

You can also recover files in Windows 10 using the “Previous Versions” feature – however, you must already have this feature enabled for it to work. To make sure this option is available to you, you’ll need to set up your file history to automatically back up your files. Assuming you have already configured this feature of Windows, you can use the following steps to permanently recover deleted files: Step 1. Click the “Start” button and then click “My Computer“. Step 2 .. Find the folder where the deleted file or folder was previously saved. Right-click it and select “Properties” and “Previous versions“. Step 3. Then a list of previous versions of the file or folder will be displayed. Select the correct file version and click “Restore” to restore the previous version. You can see in Microsoft Support how you should use recovery options on Windows 11/10.

Solution 5. Recover deleted files when the computer cannot boot up

If the computer can’t boot and you still need to recover the deleted files, you first need to create a boot disk to boot the computer from that disk and get your deleted files back. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard with Bootable Media can help you do just that. With the help of the software, you can not only create a bootable drive, but also recover your data. First, prepare a drive. When the drive is made bootable, all existing data on the drive will be removed. If you used to save files on it, back up those data to another location. Then follow the steps. Step 1. Download EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard with Bootable Media and create a bootable drive through this software first. Step 2.. Connect the drive to the faulty PC and boot the computer. Press F8 or F10 more times to open BIOS. Then choose to boot the PC from bootable drive. Step 3. After launching, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard will open. Select the disk from which your data was lost, and then click “Scan”. The program will scan the selected drive and find out all your deleted data. Step 4.

Search for your data in the directory tree on the left or the top right of the search bar. Select the files you want and click “Recover” to get your data back. If you can’t find your files here, look under “RAW” folder above. It is recommended that you save all recovered files to an external hard drive to avoid overwriting the data after all. After launching, you can get back your lost data through this software. Follow the steps in the third solution.

Check if your hard disk is electronically or mechanically defective

If the hard drive is electronically or mechanically defective, you will not be able to access your hard drive. If you want to recover the deleted data, you should replace the control board of the hard drive first. You must first remove the control board from another identical hard drive and then replace it with the defective one. If you have experience with this, you can do this repair yourself. Disassemble the defective hard disk. Then find the control board and the info sticker. You can buy an identical hard drive online. After you get the new hard drive, you can replace the old control board with the new one.

Last option: to have your hard drive repaired by a service provider.

If you don’t know the replacement, you have one last option. A data lab can help you. As long as the physical information is still on the hard drive, you have options to repair the hard drive and get back the lost files. But we need to remind you that if the hard drive is physically defective and the partition is overwritten, unfortunately, even a service provider can’t help with data recovery anymore.

In this case, you should take measures to recover permanently deleted files as soon as possible.

What really happens when files are deleted?

A closer look at the Recycle Bin As we said, the Recycle Bin in Windows is indeed a cute design for the wrongly deleted file. When users delete files by clicking the right mouse button after “Delete” or pressing Del key on keyboard after selection, the files will be moved to Recycle Bin instead of removing from computer. The deleted files in Windows Recycle Bin are not changed. This leaves a great chance for users if they regret deleting them. In this way, users can retrieve these files at any time as long as the time does not exceed the maximum limit. By the way, you can change the Recycle Bin property to change the restriction. What does deletion do? Finding out the changes of files after deletion can be very useful for us to recover permanently deleted files. According to information, “Directory Area” and “Data Area” are automatically generated after a hard disk is formatted. As the name shows, “Directory Area” is responsible for storing the location and other information about data stored in the data area. “Data area” is actually the place where the data is located. When the so-called permanent deletion is completed, the system marks a “Delete” label in the information of the particular files so that the space they occupy can be made available in the system. This space can be used when new data is written to the target disk or partition. Tip: If the old files are overwritten with new data, the probability of successful data recovery is reduced. For this reason, hard disks containing critical information about individuals or companies often become a hunting target for hackers. Some professional hackers even intentionally try to find the unused hard drive of companies and try to recover confidential data in order to make big profits. Therefore, remember not to carelessly dispose of or pass on the device on which important information has been stored, not to dispose of it thoughtlessly or resell it.. Even if you think that all the files contained in it will be irrevocably deleted, this is usually not the case. In fact, files are stored on disk in a small unit called a cluster, and corresponding data is generated to record the cluster entry number of each file. This is a bit like a chain. Once you discover the first section of the chain, you can easily find all the related files. Of course, you must have rich knowledge and experience to perform such work. When a file is deletedonly the usage state of clusters (which are occupied by the deleted file) in the file allocation table is changed from “used” to “available”. The actual content of the file still remains the same.

How to delete files permanently in Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10.

If you intend to permanently remove some files from the computer, you obviously don’t want deleted files to be recovered by data recovery software. The easiest way to achieve your goal may be to delete the partition (containing the deleted files) with non-contiguous files. In this way, you can perform a memory overwrite operation. Currently, many data recovery tools are useless. Therefore, it becomes even more difficult for users to recover permanently deleted files when they later find that deleted data is actually useful. Let’s make a metaphor now: you write a word on a piece of paper to avoid forgetting it when you need it. After using it, you don’t want others to see that word. At this time, it may be a good choice to write a new word in the same place to cover it up. Once this work is done, it becomes harder for users to figure out the original. However, imagine if you repeat the overwriting process several times, who can tell exactly what the original word is? 12 Methods for Deleting Files In summary, the following methods can be used to permanently delete files/folders in Windows: 1. Delete files by pressing on the keyboard Delete keyafter selecting them, or you can select “Delete” from the pop-up menu you see after right-clicking the selected files. Then these files will be moved to the Recycle Bin and you still need to empty it to complete the final deletion of the file. Select the file(s) you want to completely remove from the computer. Right-click on it to display a pop-up menu, select “Delete” (this part is similar to the above method) and press simultaneously the Shift key Keyboard. 3. Press the “Remove” key (also shown as “Del” or “Remove” on some computer keyboards) and the Shift key on the keyboard after you have selected all the files you want to delete. 4. Delete using the DOS-command: Since the Windows Recycle Bin only records the contents of files deleted under Windows, you can permanently delete a file in DOS-only mode or in Windows MS-DOS mode to empty the Recycle Bin. You can enter MS-DOS mode and delete a file using the Del or Deltree command. 5. Change the properties of the Recycle Binso that the files are not moved to the Recycle Bin when you delete them. It is an easy way for everyone: Right click on the “Recycle Bin” icon on the desktop -> select “Properties” from the popup menu -> select “Delete files immediately(do not move to Recycle Bin)” under “Settings for selected location” -> press “OK” to confirm the changes. 6. since Windows 2000 (contains it) there is a built-in tool called cipher.exe in Windows operating systems. It can be used to permanently delete files in a simple process: In general, you only need to run “cipher/W:F” (F refers to the letter of the drive from which you have deleted some files). Then 0x00, 0xff and arbitrary numbers are retrieved to cover the entire free space of the partition to remove all traces of deleted files. It is worth noting that this way can be applied only to NTFS drives. 7. … 8. … 9. … 10. a safer way to remove all data from the computer is to clean it up. By cleaning Cleaning hard disks can delete all data on the entire hard disk, while partition wiping should delete all files in a single partition. (Files deleted by cleanup are more difficult to recover. If we perform the cleanup several times, we will not be able to recover the data.) By the way, MiniTool Partition Wizard is a good choice to clean up hard disks or partitions. Please enable “Clean Disk” or “Clean Partition” function according to your needs. Files deleted this way will never be recovered.11. Copy the name of the file you want to delete permanently. Then create a new file of the same type in a different location and name it with the copied name. After that, you need to move the newly created file to the location where the destination file is located. Finally, choose to replace the destination file with the new one. (Make sure that the file name extension of both files is completely the same.)
