Get back your lost data
We are very much used to using the Shift + Del or Command + Del option, are not we? We are actually so used with it that we may accidentally delete important data from our HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Well it can happen to anyone. Another bad habit is pressing Enter quickly after pressing that delete button. It became a natural reflex which makes us press the Enter after Delete button. But we may lose valuable files that way. If a file is selected and there is an accidental press on the Shift or Command plus Delete button and followed by the natural Enter button and voila, we lose valuable data. Also we may send a file to the Recycle Bin or Trash Bin deeming it unimportant but later we may need it and find that we have emptied the Recycle Bin or Trash Bin. There goes the data. So, what to do in this kind of situations?
First of all, you should know that data are never actually lost when they are deleted. You see, computers know about a file by its indexed position which means when a file is saved on the HDD, an index input is made. This index let the computer know about the exact ...
... location of the file on the HDD (to be more exact, it let the computer know the memory location where the file is saved). When you are deleting a file (permanently or not), computer just removes the input in the index file. Therefore it no longer knows where the file is and therefore it does not show it on the HDD. But that file is still there unless you copy something on your HDD and the computer overwrites your lost file with the new file. That is why, when you realize you have lost a file, stop using that HDD or that particular partition where the lost file was.
As the file is just hidden, not permanently overwritten, it can be recovered using Recovery Software. Wondershare Data Recovery is a powerful data recovery tool that can recover data from hard driveeven for corrupted HDD. It features a number of recovery options such as Deleted/Lost File Recovery, Partition Recovery, and Raw Recovery etc. it takes fair amount of time to fully scan the specified partitions and recover the files, but to save time it also saves the previous scan results. Therefore you don’t need to search again; you can just load the previous scan results and recover your files.
You have other facilities like viewing the preview of Hard Disk Data so that you can be sure of which file you are recovering. Of course this whole method of data recovery works only when the HDD is still functional or the HDD is corrupted but the physical damage is not present. In case of physical damage such as short circuit, burned HDD etc. you need expert help. Software would be of use when the HDD is repaired. If that is not the case then this is the best external hard drive data recovery software.
You can use the trial version first to evaluate it and then purchase the full version. One warning, do not install the software in the same partition as the lost data. There are chances that the lost data may be overwritten. It is best to be cautious.
