This article will help you find an easy and free way to recover files.

Recover deleted files

Accidental deletion is a most common data loss situation. Modern Operating System provides protection against accidental deleted files. In Windows, it's called the Recycle Bin. When you delete a file, it would be moved to the Recycle Bin, not really delete it. If you think you have deleted a file and want to recover the file, the Recycle Bin should be the first place that you should look.

Another is to recover files emptied from the Recycle Bin or by pressing Shift+Delete key. In this case, the files disappear from any folder listing, but its contents aren't immediately destroyed. Windows simply would mark the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won't be displayed in My Computer or a command line DIR command, etc. The free data recovery software does find ways to locate the data so that the files can be recovered.

"Deleted file recovery" module built-in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition is designed to recover deleted files, even if the files emptied from the Recycle Bin. Detailed steps, refer to How to recover deleted files or folders?

Recover files from formatted partition

If a partition has been accidentally formatted, may I recover files from it? The answer is yes. Formatting a partition only erases the address table, not the data itself, so there still is a chance to recover files from formatted partition. But formatting a partition would destroy the root directory, so the names of the files and folders in the root directory are lost. Data recovery software can identify the data blocks that were used to store the top-level folder directory lists because they have a characteristic pattern. Since hard disk partition formatting is non-destructive, these top-level folders and their contents (including all the subfolders) can be recovered intact with professional formatted file recovery software. All you need to do is supply the original names of the files and folders in the root directory, and all your data is back.
