How to recover deleted files from external drives with BitLocker? Here are two steps to recover deleted files from external drives, the first is to recover the deleted files; the second is to disable BitLocker encryption on the restored files to make the unplayable MP4/MOV files workable.
Recovering deleted files from external drives using data recovery software is the easiest and quick way, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, which can support data recovery of various file types under numerous conditions.
EaseUS data recovery software can recover big files, including MP4 and MOV files. Follow the steps:

Step 2. Choose the partition of the deleted files stored, and click 'Scan' to view all the deleted files on the external drives.
