As you are currently reading this post, I can assume that you already have deleted some! Don't worry; I am here with the solution. Read this post, and follow the steps provided bellow and get back all your permanently deleted files (at least most of them for sure). Now read it off..


Recover Deleted Files on PC: 

So you want to recover files from your PC, huh? But first before going deeper into it, let me ask whether you permanently deleted it or not! I mean, may be you have pressed only the Delete key instead of the Shift Delete. So consider a casual walk to the Recycle Bin to see if you get something.

If you get your files back, no problem then. But in case you didn't get you files back, follow the next easy process. Sometimes "Restoring a Previous Version" of the folder works. See the screen shot bellow and try it.

If the previous process failed, you have to dig a little deeper. Here in this step you will need a third party software called "Recuva". All you need to do is download the software, install it and start restoring your permanently deleted files. And, guess what? You are getting it for free of cost! Actually a file does not easily get deleted, though the space gets cleared to keep new files. Here's the screenshot of an image file getting recovered by Recuva.

Besides Recuva there are several free software available at the market for free such as: Pandora Recovery, R-Studio (not full features for free) and many more. There is a good recovery software called MiniTool Power Data Recovery. But you have to pay a little to get the full version. By using this tools you can easily recover your permanently deleted Pictures, Music, Games and other Documents too. 

Recover Deleted Files on Memory Card/Mobiles:

Sometimes files may also be deleted on you mobile phone or on the memory card. To recover those files, go through this process.

Almost every time the files can be digged out by the third party software like Recuva etc. You have to just plug the device to your PC via USB or enter the memory card via any card reader. Then run the recovery software and select the removable storage in place of selecting your hard drive.

If you have an iPhone or iTab then you may also use a special tool called "Dr. Fone" to restore files.

Final Tips and Warnings:

• Care a thing that whenever you are asked to select a drive in the third party software, always make sure to select the same drive where your files were before the deletion. In case of mobiles or memory card, select the right removable storage (sometimes H or I drive).
• Always try to make a backup of your files. You can do that manually by storing files to an external storage device or give that responsibility to any app. For android there is an app called Dumpster which will help you to recover your files more easily in case any uncertain situation takes place.
• Never delete files thinking that you have the software to get it back for you. You may sometimes lose it forever! So be a little careful while mass deletion.
