How to recover permanently deleted files.

Our discussion today is gonna be on how to recover such deleted file. To say, do a search on Google.com and you will notice that there are a lot of File Recovery Program. But, of all, I prefer to use Recuva a product of PiriForm to the remaining program.

• Download Recuva and install it on your computer system. Launch the program and give it the required permission. Next the first window that appear to you.
• In the Recuva Wizard window, select the type of file you want to recover i.e picture, video, music, e.t.c. and click on Next. The next window will let you select the location where you’ve deleted the file. If you know the specific location, then you can choose it from the listed of options. Otherwise, leave the selection as it is.
• Finally, first do the scanning without marking the deep scan box. If you can’t find your file by doing that, then mark the deep scan button. However, depending on how large your hard drive is, the deep scan take some hours to  complete the scanning – however, you get the best result after successful scanning.
• After the scanning is completed, all the files you’ve deleted on you hard drive will be listed. Careful search the file you wish to recover and mark its box. Then click on recover on the right bottom corner of the window.
• Select the location to recover your file to and voila! Your file is back.

Ps: If the storage location of the file has been overwritten, you would not be able to recover you file again. You will notice this if the color of the button under the State tab of the recovery window is red.
