Are deleted files gone forever? No, deleted files are not gone forever unless new data overwrite them. Deleting something from any device is still available on the device and can be recovered.
We know that the deletion of any data from a Windows PC means moving the data to the recycle bin, and you can recover deleted files from recycle bin until you empty it.
But if you use the 'Shift + Delete' keys to delete data, it will be permanently lost in recycle bin. However, it can still be recovered only using data recovery software, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, recovering your deleted data with a few clicks.
It supports recovering 'Shift + Delete' files without recycle bin. Follow the steps below:
Step 1. Install the EaseUS data recovery software on your PC.
Step 2. Choose the partition that stores the deleted data.
Step 3. Click 'Scan' to view the content of the selected partition.
Step 4. Select the deleted data and click 'Recover' to get it back.
To avoid overwriting data, it is important to immediately stop using the volume or hard drive that stores the deleted data. And you should quickly find the recovery solutions after deletion occurs.
If you keep using the device, the deleted data will get overwritten by new ones, and deleted data will be lost forever. Also, to avoid such data loss scenarios, having an updated backup of your data is essential.
Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted or lost files easily and quickly.
