Recover Deleted Files

February 24th, 2007

I just deleted a file and there was something in it that I needed to use, so I looked for some way to recover deleted files. It’s way easier than what they do in movies and tv shows, especially when you delete the common way.

Restoration is a little free software that lists all files you have deleted and it lets you recover them with a simple click.

If you are curious about this, just know that when you delete a file and empty the recycle bin, your file isn’t deleted. All that happens is that the space occupied by the file is marked as available to write other data.

This got me into thinking about how to really delete files.

You made a typo in your URL. You missed the R. I added it ;)
