Computers are mainly used for data storage like files, documents, photos etc. Data loss is the common scenario generally faced by many computer users. Among them some of the cause of file loss is accidental deletion, deleting files using windows command prompt or using “Shift+Delete” combination keys, emptying the recycle bin, file system corruption, accidental formatting or re-formatting drive or partition, power surge, viruses, OS crash, improper system shutdown etc.
Generally, when a file is deleted from the PC it moves into the recycle bin. Deleted files can be easily recovered from recycle bin using restore option. Sometimes if the file is deleted using combination of keys like “Shift+Delete” or using command prompt, the file does not move to the recycle bin, it just bypasses the recycle bin and gets deleted completely. The file can no longer be recovered by the Windows operating system. In this situation you can recover deleted files from recycle bin using good data recovery software. Data recovery software relies on the fact that when you delete a file by emptying the recycle bin, the contents of the file aren’t permanently deleted. It still remains on the hard drive, relatively intact, until the section of the drive is overwritten by another file. If the file is over-written, the file gets erased completely by the new file. Hence, precaution should be taken to restore the file before the file is overwritten.
Sometimes files are lost due to accidental formatting of the hard drive. For example, if you want to format D drive and by mistake you have formatted external drive connected to the computer, then the entire files present in the external drive is lost or deleted. Once the formatting is done, you should stop using the external drive and should not save any new file on the drive. If you re-use the external hard drive there are chances to overwrite your deleted data by new data. Other factors like file system corruption, improper system shut down, virus attack, power surge, bad sectors in the hard drive may also lead to deletion or loss of files.
If the files are deleted from any of these scenarios you can easily recover deleted files using good file recovery software.
