Is it possible to recover deleted files from data recovery software?

[marshall alferd]

my cousin had accidentally deleted my MS office files on my laptop which was very important for me. I tried but i didnt find them in Recycle bin. I heard about data recovery software but never used them before, which data recovery software helps me to recover deleted file.

Assuming you have no current restorable backups of your data folders/files...
Do NOT use your Windows on that laptop unless told to do so by a data recovery super-person [I'm not near there yet]. The more Windows runs, the more It writes to the hard-drive.
On another computer, formulate either a usb or dvd boot with MiniTools Power Data Recovery or anything similar; there are many very good portable file recovery utilities starting with Piriform's Recuva all the way to Ultimate Restorer, Stellar, R-Studio, just to name a few freebies and pay-fors.
Boot that stick or dvd, use MiniTools PDR to search for your deleted files. Whatever it finds, recover said files onto any external media device such as 128GB usb stick or usb-connected external hard-drive.

Hope you have strictly followed the instruction of RolandJS not to use your PC till the deleted data is recovered.

You should also not install any data recovery software on that PC. Doing so, you run the risk of overwriting the deleted files.

Now on another PC, download Glary Utilities - Portable (No installer, Self-Extracting) 10.6MB from here Downloads | Glarysoft It will be a guportable.exe file. Run it and extract it to a pendrive. ( The pendrive should have atleast 100 MB free space.) You will have a guportable folder in the pendrive inside which you will find Integrator_Portable.exe

Now plug the pendrive into your PC from which you want recover the deleted files and run the Integrator_Portable.exe

Click on Advanced Tools > Privacy & Security > File Undelete. In the ensuing screen, select your drive and then click on Search. After the Search, check whether your deleted files are shown. If their status is very good, select those files and click on Restore. Copy to a selected destination. ( But not to the original location. After you have recovered the files , you can copy the files to the original folder)





Haha! One of my recently deleted word file is still there ~$TD.doc - Very good - H:\workarea\0Schengen
