Accidentally deleted an important file? Laptop crashed and now your data is gone? Don’t panic — in most cases, lost data can be recovered if you act fast and avoid common mistakes.
This guide explains the top methods for recovering deleted files and what to do when your laptop suddenly refuses to boot.
1. Check the Recycle Bin First
Simple but often overlooked — files deleted through regular delete (not shift+delete) go to the Recycle Bin.
Fix: Open Recycle Bin, right-click the file, and click “Restore”.
2. Use Data Recovery Software
If the file isn’t in the bin, try recovery software before overwriting anything.
Popular Tools:
- Recuva (Free)
- EaseUS Data Recovery
- Stellar Data Recovery
Note: Install recovery software on a different drive to avoid overwriting your lost files.
3. Laptop Won’t Boot? Use a Bootable USB
If your laptop isn’t starting, it doesn’t mean the data is gone.
Fix:
- Create a bootable USB with Windows or Linux
- Boot your laptop using that USB
- Access and back up important files to external storage
4. Hard Drive Making Clicking Noises?
This indicates physical damage. Avoid DIY recovery — it can make things worse.
Fix: Bring it to a professional data recovery lab ASAP.
5. Need to Recover from a Formatted Drive?
Formatted drives (quick format) still retain recoverable data until overwritten.
Fix: Immediately stop using that drive and use deep scan recovery tools.
