How to recover files deleted from recycle bin

How can I recover photo video files deleted or emptied from Recycle Bin in Windows 8/7/Vista/XP Computer

As computer users, we understand that deleted photos videos documents such as Microsoft Word docx files, Powerpoint Presentation ppt files, Microsoft Excel files, pdf data, and folders will go to Recycle Bin, and we can restore deleted file from Recycle Bin. But what happens after emptying the Recycle Bin, or deleted the file from Recycle Bin, or files just didn't go to Recycle Bin when they were deleted. Are those files recoverable?

How Recycle Bin works?

When we delete a file from in Windows 8/7/Vista/XP PC hard disk, windows operating system will send it to Recycle Bin. But if you deleted a file from external drive like USB drive, external hard disk, the file will be deleted directly, because Recycle Bin sits on local hard drive, not external drive. Also, Recycle Bin has a limited size. If file size is too large, or Recycle Bin does not have enough space to store the file sent to Recycle Bin, the file will be deleted directly.

How to get back files and folders deleted from Recycle Bin?

The good news is that all files and folders deleted (even you deleted them from Recycle Bin) are still in the hard disk. Windows only marks the space as free so that new files can be saved to those space. So you still have chance to recover those files if they are not overwritten by new files. The bad news is that when you save new file, Windows may store them to the space of deleted files. Once overwritten, deleted files will not be able to be recovered any more. So it's very important to not use computer after files are deleted.

You should also refrain from any further activity on that computer. Do NOT shut down, close or reboot your PC. This may cause applications or Windows itself to save data by creating new files, potentially overwriting your lost data and again making it more difficult to recover pictures. You should also NOT open or close any applications or programs as this may cause files to be updated and saved to the disk. You should recover your files as soon as possible to avoid permanent loss of your data.

The quickest and easiest way to recover lost files and folders is to use a specialist file recovery software package. There are a number of products available, a good one is Asoftech Data Recovery. I will use it as example to explain steps to recover files. The file recovery tool supports Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 desktop and laptop computers, such as Dell Precision, Dell Optiplex, Gateway, Acer Aspire, Dell XPS, HP Spectre One, Samsung ATIV, Vizio Touch PC, Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge, Dell Latitude, Razer Blade, Acer chromebook, Asus VivoBook, Microsoft Surface, Samsung Chromebook, Toshiba Satellite, Asus Transformer Book, Acer Aspire, Asus Ultrabook, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, HP AMD, HP Pavilion, Sony Vaio, HP Envy.

Step1. Download the free trial and install it to your computer.

You can download the software from
http://www.asoftech.com/adr/

I have to remind you that you do not install Asoftech Data Recovery to the same partition where you lost file for avoiding overwriting the deleted files.

Step2. Select the drive you deleted files from, and start scan the drive

When you open Asoftech Data Recovery, you will see a list of drives, select the one where your files are deleted, then press next. Asoftech Data Recovery will start scan the drive for recoverable files.

Step3. Choose your target files

Here you can see all recoverable files on the hard disk. You can choose files you want to recover. Then press 'Recover' button to start recovering the files.  

That's it, now all items you deleted but not in Recycle Bin can also be recovered. Don't hesitate, have a try now.

System corruption, file system failure, and virus attack are also known reasons for data loss on USB drive. Luckily, USB recovery can help user recover data from USB drive on their own, support files including photos, videos, musics, office documents such as Microsoft Word docx files, Powerpoint Presentation ppt files, Microsoft Excel files, pdf, and folders.

2. Transfering files from USB flash drive to other deivce was aborted and files were deleted

3. Format the USB flash drive because of wrong operation ore carelessness

4. Unpluged USB flash drive while files are transfering

5. Virus attack or other unknown reason causes files deleted or hidden, or USB drive asks formatting when inserted to computer

Are files on USB drive lost forever?

When above situation happens while USB drive contains very important files, people often worries that those important files are lost permanentally and there is no way to recover data from USB drive. In fact, those data deleted from USB drive can still be recovered. The best way to do so is by using USB data recovery software, and don't save any new files to USB drive before files are fully recovered.

First of all, stop using the USB drive

What you should do immediately after USB data loss is to stop using the USB drive, don't save any new files to the drive, don't connect the USB drive to computer unless it's for data recovery. Doing so will minimize the chance of permanent data loss and increase the opportunity to recover files from USB.

This is because that new files could overwrite the space of deleted files which will make them unrecoverable. So before you get your files back, it is very important to not use USB drive for further data transfer, not to edit any documents on USB drive.

USB data recovery Solutions

One way is to send USB drive to data recovery center. However, these data recovery centers normally charge extremely high price, also, user does not have the control of the privacy of their data.

The most effective way to recover files from USB drive is to rely on USB recovery tool, which allows user to recover the files themselves. There are lots of USB data recovery tools in the market, user needs to choose the right one that best fits their needs. A good USB data recovery software should be reliable, and easy to use, and price should be competitive as well.

Asoftech Data Recovery is one of the best USB recovery software that help you recover files from USB drive lost due to deleting, formatting, virus attack, or other unknown reasons.

Tips for USB drive usage

1. Backup your files regularly. 
Even recovery technology can help recover lost data on a USB drive, but the success rate of USB flash drive data recovery is not 100%, overwrite can make data unrecoverable. Backup files regulary is the safest way to prevent data loss.

2. Do not use USB flash drive after a data loss. 
If the space of deleted files are overwritten, no data recovery technology will be able to recover those files. Even in situation where you saved new files to USB drive, you may still have chance to recover your files, but with more activities on USB drive, chances of data recovery are lower.

Forensic Toolkit

Tools to help examine NTFS for unauthorized activity.

The Forensic ToolKit™ contains several Win32 Command line tools that can help you examine the files on a NTFS disk partition for unauthorized activity. We built these tools to help us do our job, we hope they can help you as well.

Key Features
AFind is the only tool that lists files by their last access time without tampering the data the way that right-clicking on file properties in Explorer will. AFind allows you to search for access times between certain time frames, coordinating this with logon info provided from ntlast, you can to begin determine user activity even if file logging has not been enabled.

HFind scans the disk for hidden files. It will find files that have either the hidden attribute set, or NT's unique and painful way of hiding things by using the directory/system attribute combination. This is the method that IE uses to hide data. HFind lists the last access times.

SFind scans the disk for hidden data streams and lists the last access times.

FileStat is a quick dump of all file and security attributes. It works on only one file at a time but this is usually sufficient.

Hunt is a quick way to see if a server reveals too much info via NULL sessions.
Command Line Switches
afind [dir] /f [filename] /ns=no subs /a after /b before /m between
time format =

hfind [dir] /hd=find dir/system attribs /ns=no subs

sfind [dir] /ns=no subs

filestat [filename]

hunt [\\servername]

System Requirements
Windows NT 4.0 SP3
16MB Memory
Administrator privileges
Audit log enabled with searchable records
Set NT command line buffer to 500 or more lines. 1200 or more lines works well
