What Should I Do To Get High Chance Of Success For Recovering My Deleted Files And Lost Data Back?

The following are three important things you have to do to get almost 100 percents deleted files back:

• Do not overwritten data your deleted files, it means that you should not do anything to the computer drive which contain your delete files such as copying any files, documents, defrag the hard drive or installing any software on that drive.

Example: You deleted your files in drive (D:), so you should not copy any files, programs, documents or install anything on that drive. Why? Because it may cause your deleted files overwritten by new files or documents you just copy to, especially if you hard drive almost full. (There are some arguments between computer scientists about overwritten data could be recovered, but there is no practical evidence that overwritten data can be recovered).

• Do not install data recovery software in same drive you are going to recover files from.

Example: if you deleted your files in drive (D:), you should install the program on different drive such as (C:).

• Do not store the files you recover on the same drive where your deleted files are. It is similar as above concept for installing the recovery program on different drive.

Conclusion, in order to reach almost 100 percents of success to get your deleted data back, you should do recovery immediately or before you deleted file overwritten. Install the recovery program and store recovery files on different drive from where your deleted files are.
