Hard drive data recovery methods

There are many ways to recover hard drive data. How many methods do you know? Maybe you know these methods, or maybe you don't know these methods, so let's take a look.

Method 1: Restore in Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin is very familiar to us. The Recycle Bin is one of the system folders in the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is mainly used to store documents and data temporarily deleted by users. Files stored in the Recycle Bin can be restored. People often say that there is no regret medicine in this world, and there is no chance to start over again, but the Recycle Bin gives us such an opportunity. Most of the files you delete can be restored through the Recycle Bin. When we delete some files, the system will prompt "Are you sure you want to put this file into the Recycle Bin?" As long as we do not empty the Recycle Bin, the files can be retrieved from the Recycle Bin. If it is a relatively large file, the system will prompt "The file is too large to be placed in the Recycle Bin." At this time, the file cannot be restored from the Recycle Bin, so not all files will be deleted in the Recycle Bin, and there are several situations where the data does not go through the recycle bin. Let me explain to you in detail.

Several situations without going through the recycle bin:

1. The file is too large and cannot fit in the Recycle Bin;
2. Empty the Recycle Bin;
3. Use shift+delete when deleting;
4. Cut-paste fails;
5. Files deleted from mobile devices;

Everyone should be aware of this. So how to restore it if it is found in the Recycle Bin? The method is also very simple.

Right-click the file to be restored → select Restore in the displayed operation box, then the file will be restored to the location where it was stored before deletion. If you do not remember where the file was once placed after restoration, you can also search for the name. If If you don't remember the name, then remember it before restoring, which can help us find it quickly.

Method 2: Backup

Many people are not used to backing up files, but many times backup really plays a vital role and can save your life in an emergency. For now, backup is the most reliable way to protect data.

It is a waste of space, but it is worth it. If there is not much space left on the computer hard disk, you can back up to the cloud disk. The current cloud disk has a large memory and can store more than the computer hard disk, and it is free of charge. The disadvantage is that it requires uploading and downloading, if the file is large, the upload and download speed will be slow. However, signing up for a membership and downloading is a matter of seconds, which is much less troublesome than data recovery.

Method 3: Data Recovery

When the first two methods are useless, the third method is particularly important. For now, it is safer to use Computer data recovery software to recover. Why can software help us recover data? This is going to give you some additional knowledge. It turns out that after our file is deleted, it will not disappear from the disk immediately. It will still remain on the disk, but the space it occupies will become available space. The file can be restored before new data is written.
