On any Windows PC, a file that is deleted doesn’t disappear right away. First, it gets to the recycle bin where it stays for some time, and then it’s going to be deleted forever. When you delete a file, it just becomes invisible for viewing. And you can restore all files from the recycle bin if you haven’t emptied it since temporary deleted files are stored there.
Generally, there are three ways to recover deleted files from the recycle bin:
- Recovery of deleted files via the Recycle Bin
- Recovery of deleted files via Windows Backup
- Recovery of deleted files via Disk Drill
And in our today’s article, we’ll lead you through the process of recycle bin recovery. Let’s get started.
