File Recovery after Deletion
If you are using Windows Operating System, a deleted file will be first sent to your computer's recycle fin, depending on your recycle bin's settings. However, with another setting, the file that was deleted does not get moved to the recycle bin and is removed from your computer's file system. Recovering a file that has been moved into the recycle bin is easy, simply locate it in the recycle bin and right click on the file, then choose the restore option.
