Losing important files can be stressful whether it is due to accidental deletion, a crashed hard drive, or a virus attack.
Stop Using the Device Immediately
The moment you realize data is lost, stop using the device. Continued use can overwrite deleted data making recovery impossible.
Do Not Install Recovery Software on the Affected Drive
Installing software on the same drive where data was lost can overwrite the very sectors you are trying to recover.
Check the Recycle Bin First
For accidental deletions, always check the Recycle Bin. Files deleted normally are sent there before being permanently erased.
Use Cloud Backups
Services like Google Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive automatically back up your files.
