Can I Recover Permanently Deleted Directory in Windows 11

I deleted a folder that contains some important information. Now, I need to recover it. But the directory size is larger than the Recycle Bin allowed, so it got deleted permanently. Help at the earliest will be highly appreciated.

A directory is a unique file format containing only the information necessary to access files or directories. It often occupies less space than common file formats, but it can be very large if you store too much data. You need to make it clear that even permanently deleted files can be recovered only if the data is not overwritten. And the best idea is to use data recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.

Step 2. Now, you need to find your files in the search results. You can filter the files by their format or the file name if you can remember to find the target file.
