You accidently delete an important file and somehow it skips the &#8220;Recycle Bin&#8221; and \u2018poof\u2019 just like that, it vanishes. A day\u2019s pain taking project or a lifetime\u2019s work, gone in matter of seconds. However, there is good chance that your file is still alive and all you need to do is to find those files. We all have faced such a situation at some point. Well don\u2019t worry we will show you, how to recover your deleted files and how to make <strong>data recovery<\/strong> faster than ever.<\/p>\n<p>First thing to remember is not to make the mistake at the first place. Everybody knows hitting \u2018DELETE\u2019 will put your files in the \u2018Recycle bin\u2019, but only few people know pressing &#8220;SHIFT + DELETE&#8221; will\u00a0 delete your files without putting it in the recycle bin. Make sure, you don\u2019t make such mistake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop, Think and Proceed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once a file is lost, you have to stop whatever you are doing. When you delete a file, what your PC actually does is mark the space occupied by the data as free space and the file is still there. Do NOT write new data on your hard drive. Because new data will be written top of your old data and file recovery become almost impossible.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Data Recovery For Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1284 aligncenter\" title=\"windows data recovery\" src=\"http:\/\/news.entecity.com\/files\/2012\/09\/windows-data-recovery.jpg\" alt=\"windows data recovery tools\" width=\"534\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2012\/09\/windows-data-recovery.jpg 770w, https:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2012\/09\/windows-data-recovery-699x320.jpg 699w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the file isn\u2019t in the &#8216;Recycle bin&#8217;, go to &#8216;Search&#8217; by clicking &#8216;Start&#8217; and use &#8216;When was it modified?&#8217; option.
