Nearly each one of us has experienced the data loss situations some way or the other. And we all know how painful it is to lose data especially when it is not possible to recover it. Such scenarios occur because of various reasons such as emptying the Recycle Bin, hard-deleting the files, deleting files from the DOS prompt, virus infections, shutting down the system abruptly, etc. In most of the cases, you do not have a backup of these files, which makes the situation even more depressing and calls for file recovery. In such cases, you should use a third-party file recovery software to recover deleted files.
Consider a scenario wherein you are working on an important document for your monthly report. Once you are done with the document, you hard-delete the rest of the files using 'Shift+Delete'. However, after deleting these files, you realize that you have mistakenly deleted the actual file. After deleting these files, you realized that it was the file that you required for the report. And to make the matters worse, the file also skipped the Recycle Bin because of shift-deleting it. Now, as usual you must be cursing yourself for this great folly of yours. But wait a minute, the file may still be recovered even after hard-deleting.
Actually when a file is deleted from a Windows system, it is not removed from the file system database. Only its reference is deleted and the file is still there. Thus, Windows makes a note that the space reserved by the deleted file is now available for a new file. So, until a new file is created and saved at the location where the deleted file was stored, it can be recovered from there. However, to recover such deleted files you need to use a third-party file recovery software. Such read-only tools are able to perform file recovery without overwriting the existing data.
