Accidentally Lost or Deleted Files

Emptied your recycle bin? Discovered that you may have needed something there? Don't worry. The file is still there, and likely very recoverable. Has the file you've been looking for been missing for a while? Chances are, it's still available.

In situations where you are simply looking to undelete a file or retrieve data that was once there but can't be found now, you can likely perform your file recovery with data recovery software.

Your Best Actions:

1. Save as little as possible to your hard drive.
The more data you save to your drive, the less chance you can recover your files

2. Do NOT install data recovery software to your hard drive.
Although it sounds counter-intuitive, some of the best data recovery software works directly from CD, USB drive or Floppy disk

3. Contact a professional.
Contacting a professional is free, and can prevent you from taking any action that makes your data unrecoverable.
