Have you ever deleted a file by mistake? You selected it, clicked on the right mouse button and ordered: Delete. But damn!!!, that was not the file you wanted to erase.
If you act quickly you can recover it, using some software available to retrieve information.
On many times when we wanting to have more space on our hard drive or simply do a routine cleaning, by mistake, we eliminate necessary files such as: a report, a video, a presentation or a family photographs, at which point you want to go back in time, to be able to undone what has been done.
Our first option is to look in the recycling bin, and our file should be there and you just need to select it and restore it so that it reappears where it was originally. But if we have emptied the trash, by mistake, dont worry, you allways can use a file retriever.
You can recover deleted items as long as the memory address has not been rewritten. When a file is created or downloaded, it is saved in a memory address and an index is generated that tells our operating system, that such space of that memory address corresponds to a file.
When you delete the files, this index is deleted, that is to say, that for the system there is a blank page, although the file is still in that direction.
The good news is, your computer's never really eliminate what you deleted.
Therefore, all you need to get around the disaster, is a data recovery software, if you empty by mistake the recycling bin, the data, the ones and zeros that made up the documents that you think you lost irretrievably, are still recorded on the disk .
With this tools of file recovery, it is possible to restore our deleted files, but if before doing this procedure another file is downloaded, the system can overwrite the memory index and modify the space and in this case, it will not be possible to recover it anymore.
