It
only takes a moment of carelessness to permanently delete important
data from your PC. But don't worry, you may still be able to recover
most of it, if you stop using your-PC immediately and use data recovery
software. When a file is deleted, even from inside the Recycle Bin, it
doesn't actually vanish from the hard drive.
Instead,
the computer merely changes the file's properties to make it invisible
to the user. The file truly gets deleted only when the operating
system overwrites fresh data to that space. You can try to recover
thedeleted files using free software.
MiniTool Power Data Recovery
This
is a versatile software. It can not only recover the deleted files, but
also help you save data from damaged partitions, pen drives, SD cards
and CDs. MiniTool puts the retrieved files in folders, but you will have
to go through several folders, Lost Files and Desktop, for example,
before you find the actual files you were looking for. Once you have
found the files, just click "save files" to get your data back.

Recuva
This
lacks the advanced features of Mini-Tool , but one advantage of using
Recuva is that you can see a preview before saving the retrieved files.
This is handy because the computer often changes the names of deleted
files to something like $ABC.MP3. www.piriform.com/recuva
Glary Undelete
In
our tests, this was the slowest of the three. But one good feature is
its ability to home in on the full name of the deleted files. This makes
finding the right files a lot easier. www.glarysoft.com/products/ utilities/glary-undelete/
