How to Recover Deleted Files from a USB Drive?
Accidentally deleting files from your USB drive can be stressful, especially when the files are important. But don't panic! There are several ways to recover deleted files. Here are some methods you can try:
Method 1: Check the Recycle Bin
On Windows, when you delete a file from a USB drive, it often bypasses the Recycle Bin. However, in some cases, it may still be there. Follow these steps:
1. Open the Recycle Bin on your computer.
2. Look for the deleted file.
3. If found, right-click on it and select "Restore".
Note: If the file is too large for the Recycle Bin or permanently deleted, this method won’t work.
Method 2: Use Data Recovery Software
If the file isn't in the Recycle Bin, try using data recovery software. Some reliable tools include:
● Recuva
● EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
● Disk Drill
Steps to recover files using recovery software:
1. Download and install the recovery software.
2. Plug in your USB drive.
3. Open the software and select your USB drive for scanning.
4. Let the scan complete and check for recoverable files.
5. Restore the file to a different location (not back to the USB drive).
Method 3: Use Windows Built-in File Recovery
Windows offers built-in tools that may help:
● Open Command Prompt or PowerShell.
● Use the command: winfr C: D: /extensive (where C: is the source drive and D: is the destination for recovered files).
● If you've enabled "Previous Versions", right-click on the folder where the file was stored and select "Restore previous versions".
Method 4: Check Your Backups
If you have been backing up your files using:
● Cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.)
● External hard drives
● Windows File History
Check your backups and restore the deleted file.
Method 5: Seek Professional Data Recovery Services
If none of the above methods work, professional data recovery services might be your last resort. These services use advanced tools to recover lost files, but they can be costly.
Pro Tip:
To prevent data loss in the future:
● Regularly back up your important files.
● Double-check before deleting any files.
● Consider using write protection on critical USB drives to prevent accidental deletion.
By following these steps, you increase your chances of recovering deleted files successfully!
