Did you know it's possible to recover "permanently" deleted files on Windows or Mac?

It sounds terrible if you want to delete files or information so no one will get and see them. However, it's a hectic news for those who want to recover files deleted by mistake.

Why you're able to restore files you think of deleting them completely? It's still recoverable ever if you've deleted them and emptied from Recycle Bin or Trash?

Yes, it's. Here is why. When you deleted files, the files are physically existing on your hard drive or storage media, but become inaccessible by common users without the help of special software. These files will be permanently erased only by new files. As long as the files have not been overwritten by new files, they are recoverable with file recovery software.

So if you need to recover permanently deleted files, get third-party file recovery software like WS Data Recovery which can search your hard drives for all existing and recently deleted files and restore to the specified location.

     

Important: To avoid overwriting deleted files, you're recommended to install the software to an external hard drive. Don't install it on the partition you want to recover files from.
