If you’ve just accidentally pressed “delete” and deleted a file on your PC, your first port of call should be to go to the Recycle Bin. Depending on where you deleted the file from, there’s a reasonable probability that your file will be showing there , waiting for you to click “restore”.

But what can you do if the file doesn’t show up in your recycle bin? Does that mean that it’s been lost forever? It’s almost never unimportant, backed-up files that get deleted by accident. Grrrr!

Forunately it’s almost always, it’s perfectly possible to get back a deleted file. Even if it’s not shown in your recycle bin. This is because the Windows filing system doesn’t delete the file but rather it flags the space occupied as something it can use again when it needs to.

The bad news is that the more you do on your computer, the bigger the risk that Windows will overwrite some or all of the lost file, making recovery difficult or even impossible.

So you need to stop what you’re doing on your computer. That means stop everything. Including browsing the internet, scanning your iTunes library, whatever. The more things you do, the bigger the probability Windows decide that the space previously occupied by the file is space it can use elsewhere.

If you can use a different PC, use it to download a program like this one to undelete files. If you can’t get hold of a different computer then you may get away with using your current PC (the chance increases if there is a large amount of disk space left unused) but this is definitely not the best way.

Once you’ve got your copy of a program to undelete files, it’s just a matter of following the simple prompts on screen and there’s a very high chance your file will be recovered for you.
