Recovering deleted files

[Guest]

I recently installed Windows Defender and it scanned my music files and I
deleted them without knowing. How can I recover them. I tried to do a system
restore but can't go back to a date before they were deleted. What can I
do????

If they are not in your Recycle Bin, you might be stuck with downloading new
music files.

You might try a search for *.dbx to see if they may be listed there.

there are various software out there that can recover deleted files. If worse
comes to worse you may need to purchase one and attempt to recover.

you may also want to post in windows defender's users site as someone there
may be able to help

This may be a moot point now, but in the future when you delete something or
empty your Recycle Bin and want to recover something from it... Stop using
the computer now. Your recovery chances are better if the file has not been
overwritten.

This is free.

Description
[[Restore files which are deleted from the recycle bin or deleted while
holding down the Shift key by mistake. Conversely, this program has another
function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files. You
can use it after deletion of confidential documents, embarrassing files and
so on.]]

Hello,

Even if the files are erased there is still a possibility to restore
them using mighty data recovery tools. Of them I can pose put Active@
Undelete and Uneraser(DOS). They worked great for me before and really
never failed. I bet that will help you.
