How do I recover a file I accidentally deleted?
Recovering deleted files can be done using file recovery software or system restore points.
Accidentally deleted files can often be recovered using built-in or third-party software. First, check the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac) as deleted files often remain there until permanently removed. If it’s been emptied, file recovery software such as Recuva, EaseUS, or Disk Drill can scan for recently deleted files, though success depends on how much the file area has been overwritten. Windows users can also try a system restore point to revert to an earlier state. To prevent future data loss, consider regular backups through cloud storage or external drives.
