How to recover deleted files quickly?

Nowadays, computers are widely used in our works, studies and lives. They are necessary for individuals, enterprises and governments. Individual documents, files, E-mails, financial records, sales contracts even national military information are stored in computers. Many users have the thought that data is much precious than hard disk. But you will never understand the feeling unless you suffer real data loss. Data security is so important for us. However, any storage device risks damage due to technology and craft. Data loss is caused by many aspects such as damaged hardware and bad tracks. I mainly introduce the way to recover the data deleted by accident to facilitate data recovery at home.

The most common data recovery is to recover accidental deleted data. When data deleted by accident, we should never write any data in the partition or disk where the deleted data is stored, to keep the maximum recovery possibility. Actually after data deleted, we can not see it but it still exists in disk. We could recover it unless it is covered by the new written files. If the deleted file is not Windows system file, the simplest way is to restore it with professional data recovery software in the premise that the system runs normally. MiniTool Power Data Recovery has powerful function to recover data. It can restore not only deleted data, but also files in formatted FAT16, FAT32, NTFS partitions.

When we use data recovery software to look for the accidental deleted file, it is unnecessary for us to scan the whole partition where the deleted data is located, no matter which data recovery software, even it has quick scan function like MiniTool Power Data Recovery, is applied. After deleted, the data is marked with a “deleted” sign. Any data recovery software accesses directory structure information in advance and finds it through the sign. So we can artificially stop the scan process when the software finishes reading the directory structure information. The software will display the information of deleted files as well. It reduces scanning time and we can find and restore the accidental deleted files.

Users who haven’t used data recovery software may be surprised by the result of scanning deleted files when using this kind of software for the first time. Our purpose is to find out several files deleted by accident, but the software lists hundreds of thousands of previous deleted files. At this moment, Advanced Filter, a unique function of MiniTool Power Data Recovery, can save us much time. We just need to select the extended name of the desired files in the “Advanced Filter” interface. For instance, if we choose “*.doc”, the software will show us files of DOC format only. To find single file, we can input the file name and extended name (for example, recovery.doc) of the file in “Find File” interface. And the software can find this file easily. It is more convenient for us to recover data.
