It’s funny how if you wish to permanently remove a file from your Windows based PC or Mac all you need do is select that file and press shift-delete. This process will bypass the Windows recycle bin or Mac trash container sending the selected file into oblivion. Yet as simple as it is to delete files there is no direct path to undelete them.
When we bypass the safety step of the Windows recycle bin or trash can from Mac we create a situation where we must purchase and download a powerful third party data recovery tool designed to scan for drive or partition recovery. Many of the best of these tools such as those offered by Remo Software are actually designed to target files lost in several different ways. For example when a file is deleted by emptying the Windows recycle bin it is located in a different folder structure for recovery than those files that were directly deleted using shift-delete.
