How can I restore deleted files from my computer?

Question

I mistakenly deleted an important file from my computer (I didn't send it to the recycle bin, I deleted it by holding Shift+Delete).

I have heard there is a way of restoring deleted files, and that they are not completely removed from the computer - so there is still a way of getting it back.

Does anyone know how can i do it? Please!! I'm almost sure it can be done! And if I remember right, there are programs that can do it.

It's an awesome tool that was made by the same people who made CCleaner (if you haven't heard of it - look it up!)

Basically it does what it says on the website, and exactly what you need, by recovering files you may have deleted recently.

However, like anything that offers this sort of recovery, there is always the chance that it won't work, generally the longer you leave it, so best to act quick!

Answer 4

try system restore.

Answer 6

There is a good chance to recover but you must remember not to add any programs or files to the drive until you have recovered.
