When files are deleted in Windows 7, they are immediately moved to the Recycle Bin folder. It is a temporary folder that temporarily stores your deleted data till it is emptied. Using the Recycle Bin, here’s how to restore deleted files:
- Open the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop by navigating to it.
- Choose the deleted files that you wish to restore.
- Right-click the chosen file and select Restore from the context menu.
- The selected files’ original locations will be restored.
Without software, the only method to recover permanently lost data in Windows 7, XP, and Vista is to restore them from a previous backup. If you do not have a backup of the deleted files, you must install third-party data recovery software and hope that the files have not yet been overwritten.
- Download and install the Windows 7 version of Disk Drill on your PC.
- Select the desired drive from the list of available devices and drives. Now, select Recover to begin the data recovery procedure.
- After the scan is complete, you may sift through the results to identify the files you wish to recover. To accomplish this, tick the boxes next to the files.
- In the Recover To text box, choose the location where you want to recover the deleted file.
- Click Recover to start the process of file recovery.
