Microsoft Windows is a series of operating systems for personal computers introduced by Microsoft. It is one of most popular family of operating systems. Windows has approximately 90% users out of total customers. Some examples of Windows operating systems are Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista and some servers are Windows 2003, Windows 2008. So lots of important files are kept in the Windows operating system. But sometimes some valuable files are lost/deleted due to some unavoidable situations. In that case we need to recover Windows files. Before going to the solution of file loss problems in Windows we have some common file loss scenarios discussed below:
Common Reasons of File loss in Windows:
- Accidental Deletion: Windows files can be deleted due to common human error like deleting some files instead of some other files, accidentally using shift + delete key combination. Formatting wrong drive instead of any other drive without proper data backup. Change in drive letter may sometimes cause file loss in Windows Operating system. Unavoidable conditions like improper shut down, sudden power failure while files are still getting transferred can be the other reasons for file loss in Windows OS.
- Up gradation of Operating system: Re-installing the operating system without having proper data backup can result in loss of some important files.
- Error in Conversion: Critical files can be lost due to error encountered in file system conversion. Improper partition conversion may also lead to file loss in Windows operating system.
- Failed defragmentation: Files can be lost in Windows OS due to defragmentation failure.
- Recycle Bin Bypass: When the Windows Recycle bin becomes full with deleted files, Windows automatically deletes some old deleted files and creates some space for recently deleted files. Files may also bypass the Recycle bin and get deleted when they exceed in size. In both cases files are deleted from the Recycle bin and no longer accessible to the user.
- Malware Attack: Viruses are the most common reason for storage device corruption. When a storage device gets corrupted, files stored in it become inaccessible. Some important files may also get deleted during antivirus scanning. Files can also be deleted due to improper third party application.
Files deleted from Windows operating system in any of the above situations, are not permanently deleted from the computer. Only the file records from the file system is deleted. If any new data is saved in to the storage device from which files are lost/deleted then the lost/deleted files will get overwritten with the new files. So the deleted files can be recovered using Remo Recover (Windows)-Basic Edition only when the files are not overwritten with any new data.
