There are multiple methods of data recovering, with some more extreme than others. The ones in this article will start with the safest and continue to slightly more extreme actions.

Recycle bin

Firstly, you should try the recycle bin. If any file is deleted, then it will immediately be placed in the recycle bin for a few weeks. To check the recycle bin go to the desktop and in your accumulation of icons there will be the recycle bin icon. Click on it and search through to find your file. Then right click and click restore. Now, your file has been restored and can be used again.

System restore

Next, as a slightly larger operation, the system restore function built into Windows can be used. This can allow the user to delete all data created since a recent data and to restore the system to how it was on a specific date. This can be useful if you can remember when you deleted the file. However, a disadvantage is that you lose all recent data. To do this, go into control panel, into system functions and click on system restore. Enter the date and click on restore to set your computer to this time.

Software

Downloaded or bought software This is the most extreme operation you can undertake in restoring lost data. Recovery programs can be downloaded and sometimes paid for to retrieve data. Notable software recovery includes Undelete Plus, PC Inspector File Recovery, and Restoration. Usually, Restoration and PC Inspector File Recovery are the most effective at recovering files.
Process Once you've picked a tool, it's time to scan your hard drive for your lost file or files. Just point the program at the hard drive or folder that was holding your missing file and start your scan. Once the scan is complete, you're going to see a big list of jumbled file names. Often, most of these files are nothing more than system files, you're just looking for the file type and name that matches what you've lost for your file retrieval. Once you find what you're looking for, saving it is a matter of right-clicking the file and choosing where to save it.

Conclusion

All of these can be used to assist your data retrieval. However, the free methods are recommended first as it is a large cost saver.
