“Oh,no… I didn’t mean to delete the file†It happens to everyone in
our daily life. Stray mouse click “Delete†or just mistakenly finger
something wrong, a conference report you just spend hours creating is
gone. Isn’t it frustrated?

From Recycle Bin
First, don’t panic. Check out your Recycle Bin. When a file or folder
is deleted from your computer, it is not really deleted permanently.
It is removed to the recycle bin. Double-click on the Recycle Bin
icon, in the window, find out your deleted file and click “Restore
this item†on the menu bar. The file will be restored to its previous
location.
If you emptied the Recycle Bin or used Shift+Delete to erase the file,
the above trick will not work. Yet it also can be recoverable for file
and folder are still not really deleted, you just lose the entry in my
computer. The content still exists on the hard disk and the space can
be available by other files though. If the space isn’t occupied by
other files, you can get back files and folders.

From backup
Once lose file and folder, you had better not write new file. Try to
recover your erased files and folders as soon as possible for it has
less chance to retrieve them as time goes on. If you made a backup
copy of all your data before deleting a file, maybe you can recover
the file from it. Use the function of your backup program to locate
and restore a specific file and folder. Windows 7 allows you to
recover file and folder with Windows 7 Backup and Restore. Here is the
procedure:
1.Click the Start button, select Control Panel, then System and
Maintenance, and finally Backup and Restore.
2.Click “Restore my files†and follow the steps provided in the wizard
to specify which file and folder to recover.

Use File and folder recovery tool
If the above methods failed, you might still be able to retrieve
deleted files and folders using a third party data recovery program
like Card Data Recovery. It uses a file and folder signature search
algorithm to help you scan the whole hard disk. Small files stored in
one cluster or larger files stored in consecutive clusters will be
found immediately and recovered quickly. You can preview pictures and
audio before recovery. Nevertheless, the pretend is files and folders
were not overwritten, or else there is no way to get them back.
Note: You must never save the recovered files and folders to the same
disk where previous ones located. That is because the space where the
data you hope to recover taken might be get written.
