Method 1: Recover deleted files from a Recycle Bin
1. Double-click on the Recycle Bin to open it.
2. Find and see the files to be recovered. You can use the Ctrl and Shift keys to choose multiple items at once.
3. Right-click on the selection and choose Restore. This will restore the file to its original location. You can also drag the file out of the Recycle Bin and drop it on a new location where it will be stored.
4. Verify the files have indeed been restored to their original or new location.
Method 2: Recover Files Using CMD
1. Open the Start menu. recover deleted files in Windows 10
2. Type "cmd", right-click on the top match, and select "Run as administrator" to run the Command Prompt with an administrator privilege.
3. Type "chkdsk X: /f" and hit Enter on your keyboard. Replace "X" with the letter of your hard drive.
4. Type "ATTRIB -H -R -S /S /D X:*.*" and hit Enter. Again, replace "X" with the letter of your hard drive.
Method 3: Use a Data Recovery Software
1. Download and install Disk Drill.
It is strongly recommended that you do not use the disk that will be used for the recovery. Installing on that disk can lead to corruption or overwritten files before you get the chance to recover them.
2. Launch the application.
3. Select the disk or partition where the files were located from the list presented in the application’s window.
4. Click the Search for lost data button to initiate Disk Drill’s scanning algorithms. As it processes, you will be presented with a list of the files that can be recovered.recover deleted files in windows 10
5. Select the files (photos, music files, videos, documents, etc.) you wish to restore and a new location where you will store them.
6. Click the Restore button to restore the file to its original location.
Address any naming conflicts by replacing the original file with the restored version, skipping the file, or keeping both for your review.
Method 4: Use File History
1. Click on the File Explorer icon and open the folder that contained the items that you want to recover.
2. Click the Home tab and then the History button.
3. Select the files or folder that you wish to restore.
4. Navigate through time with the arrows to search for the version you want to recover.
Method 5: Use “Restore previous versions” on Windows 10
1. Open the Start menu. recover deleted files in Windows 10
2. Type "system protection" and hit Enter on your keyboard.
3. Choose a hard drive under “Protection Settings” and click "Configure".
4. Select "Turn on system protection" and click “OK”.
5. You can now use the “Restore previous versions” feature to restore a file or folder to its previous state.

You saved my life dude thank you. I lost quite a few end of the semester final college projects. I was able to get it all back with disk drill
Thank you so much! I lost one of my Age of Empires 2 scenarios I was meant to release but lost due to some errors and misplacing in wrong folders. I recommend the usage of Disk Drill to anyone who wants to recover lost files!
Deleted 2 videos a few hours ago from my D drive. Not only that, I proceeded to "Empty Recycle Bin" now, there is no way for me to get these back? I have tried multiple ways with the Windows File Recovery. I have the EXACT FILE NAMES as well, due to the fact that Adobe Premiere Pro is trying to find them as well. PC has not been rebooted yet and I am at a total loss now.

YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE!!!
OH MY GOSH you have no idea how much i needed this. My dad has his own company and i deleted his files. Thank you.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for the shout-out!
my file had roms that took long to download :/
two questions: you're obviously related to cleverfiles and not independent so how can i be sure it's not a virus? and could i recover files from a usb drive that have been deleted years ago (but the drive has barely been used)?
Hi, I am happy to answer this for you!

how to recover files from phone deleted with pc
Hi! Sorry to hear about that. Disk Drill can access your rooted Android device's storage (available for Mac OS X at this time) as described here: www.cleverfiles.com/android-data-recovery.html
You can also browse our Knowledge Base for additional information: www.cleverfiles.com/howto/android-data-recovery/
Maybe you know any other way what ould help in my situation. My computer was connected with one drive from the company, after disconnecting it changed my system paths for saving and desktop setups. I have discovered it after a while and wanted to make it back so if I save something on the desktop is not showing the old connection but on the desktop itself. As normally the one drive makes a copy of all that you can find on the computer I deleted the path on the C:/ file flor user and here comes the worst, it deleted all my files from the desktop and none of your recommended ways is not helping to recover. Do you know any other way that can help me to get back those files?
I am thankful for any advice and ideas.
Sorry to hear about that. We're happy to investigate this further. Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com
My Video folder in the downloads just went up into the air. I did method 2, It says access denied and i am not able to get it back. And the download folder was in my main drive. so should i be using disk drill?
Hi there! Did you make sure that you are running the command prompt with Administrator rights? That will be the only reason why you will get access denied while trying to run that command.
I rendered a video in sony vegas and named it the same as something that already existed, which replaced the original version. is there a way of getting back the original version? It was a huge mistake

5:55 i accidentally deleted an important video and downloaded data drill about 1 hour later and i found the vid but it wasn't previewable so does this mean i've lost it forever now or is there any way to get it still back? like i said its really really important to me so i'd be thankful for ANY advice!
In most cases yes. However, there are some exceptions. Please, contact us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance.
Really helpful. Thank you so much😊
Can you scan multiple drives with disk drill at the same time ?
Hi there! Sorry, only 1 Drive can be scanned at the time.
Im running command prompt as administrator and when i use the attribute line im told "access denied" on every line of the return.
what am i doing wrong
same
Thanks alot bro, this helped a ton!
Glad to hear it!
Very well structured video and well explained. However, literally none of this worked for me. I recently had like thousands of PNG files randomly disappear on me , presumably deleted. I unfortunately had no restore point/file history prior to this event and they did not go to the recycling bin so that checks off most of the video's suggestions already. I attempted to try the CMD prompt code but repeatedly had "access denied" prompts appear saying I don't have access to a folder called modifiablewindowsapps that appeared to have no files in it. Lastly, I looked up whether Disk Drill was legit multiple times only to get many threads either calling it complete garbage or people saying the opposite but whom were clearly just trying to sell the software probably for personal gain. Very aggravating to see that there seems to be no viable option for restoring files like this.
It is not always possible to recover lost files. Hence, you're seeing all these comments, as for some people it works, for others it doesn't work. Depending on the situation, You can always download a free version of Disk Drill and scan your drive to check if your files are recoverable. Based on those finding, you can make a decision whether to pay for a license or not.
@@cleverfiles Your software doesn't even install on most systems, let alone work.
Thank you so much, you saved me! this is a great video!
This perfect video.Thanks a lot.What is background music? I love it.
Iost everything on my moajang mc account after resetting my pc (chose to keep all files) and it just vanished. my acc is still there, but all multiplayer servers and single player worlds are just gone. will any of this work? It's almost like my pc just forgot mc even exsisted at all, and it had for about 6 years

I'm trying to recover a overwritten video file that is 600mb, do you or anyone recommend any free software to try?
Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. We apologize for any confusion around that. Disk Drill Basic gives you all the functions of data protection and scanning so that you can see which files can be recovered by the premium version.
Disk Drill Basic for Windows allows free recovery of 500MB of your file(s) (total size). If you're experiencing any issues with this, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. I will suggest to recover as much as you can with the 500MB.
Try method 5.
i wanna try the last method but i dont have any other drive aside from the one i will be installing in. will that still work?
Hi there Perry, when you recover your files, it's extremely important to select a destination different from the location where you lost the file to save the retrieved directory. Otherwise, the files may be overwritten.
Thank you for saving my 2 hours of work. I was about to rename the file and I accidentally clicked delete and I almost lost it. Thankfully I found this video and it saved me 2 hours of work. Thank you.
I did the exact same thing. That rename thing can be bad sometimes.
Tysm only video that has helped me
I tried using the CMD and it didn't work, As per your screenshots your File system is EXFAT mine is NTFS,
i have used
chkdsk C: /c and then
attrib -h -r -s /s /d C:*.*
and it didnt work, can you help with right commands
Lost my files that were on a Premiere Pro project.. thought I need to restart editing but I found this video! thank you so much man you saved my life

The CMD as Administrator gives me "Unable to change attribute, Access Denied"
Hi there! Did you make sure that you are running the command prompt with Administrator rights? That will be the only reason why you will get access denied while trying to run that command.
@@cleverfiles I made sure I was.
Sorry if this has already been answered but is there anyway to re hide the folders after you have used the cmd method?
I did the recycle bin one and it seemed to have worked at first, but now it's not there or in its original place. I'm trying the system restore thing, hopefully that works. If it doesn't what do you recommend I do?

Thank you so much this is an incredibly helpful tutorial although I’m running into one problem with the folder/file restore situation I keep getting an error that my drive is disconnected so if you can help with that that would be appreciated

BIG HELP! THANK YOUU SO MUCH!
You are a God. That CMD saved me a full week of work that corrupted right before an important production deadline. It revealed a clunky temp file but good enough to keep rolling. If this didnt work, I would have had to roll back to the server backup and start again from there.

I think my .ddwscan files are (or were) in a recoverable state, but I still haven't been able to figure out what exactly to do, knowing that there are way too many files to attempt a "preview" of each one individually. I still don't know the best operation prodedure(s). Also, I wonder whether I should use Microsoft Windows' File Explorer instead.
i deleted a file to run things on my laptop and emptied recycle bin unknown to me it was in the bin so i dont know how to get it back and i cant use my laptop to do like anything til then how do i get it back?

hi i used i care free to recover some photos i just permenetly deleted i was able to recover them but the file is in a .tmp form now and i cant convert it back to its original state please help
Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question. If you managed to preview the file you needed to recover in a basic version, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. No preview just means that the file might be damaged or corrupt, it can be recovered, but it might need to be repaired.
@@cleverfiles I also wanted to ask if the file got deleted a long time ago will it still be found on the hard drive
@@cleverfiles And also when i used i care free to recover the program could not preview the photo's
Recuva recovered my odt manuscript, but it is illegible. Any suggestions? Maybe Recuva isn't the best recovery program.

I've got the problem that alot of video files are missing/not showing up after deleting some temp datas but the space in my driver is still taken. Would it be better to aim for restoring the temp datas since the video files go up to 300GB and would not be possible to recover without an upgraded payed program version?

Hey, Friend
My computers were Windows 7 and upgrade to the window it Overwrite.
Later I go to a Computer store he tries to recover but he can't fully recover.
I also did go to professional recovery and they can't help what can I do next? 😭
You may scan your drive with the free version of Disk Drill to see which files it can recover for you.
Thank you sooo much. Restore previous version worked for me 👍
Happy to help!
instead of what appears to be recursively changing the file attributes of all files on a drive couldn't you just check the box for show hidden files? Honestly correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it would be the same thing.
literally, YOU saved my life. Thank very much I rly mean it
