Question

Answer 1

You can often successfully recover deleted files from a PC, it all depends on what has happened since the files were deleted.

When you delete files the data itself isn’t deleted, just the index entry that tells the system where the data for those files is located. The area containing the deleted data is also now marked as free space so it is available for any new files to be written there instead.



If and when that happens, then it is too late to recover your deleted files so it is very, very important to not save any new files or data to the device concerned.



One of the easiest ways to see if you can recover deleted files is to try some good file recovery software. One I used to use is asoftech recovery which you can download from site below

There d no such thing a Windows 97, it will be 95 (which is totally useless now) 98 (also useless) or 2000 (no longer fully supported but the service pack downloads are still available). If it is 2000 you can still get recovery software to undelete files. Do NOT use the machine any more until you have such a program or a system temporary file can overwrite the deleted one making recovery impossible. Also the recovery program may also overwrite the file, in which case it will be gone for good. This is what backups are for.

Yes, you can try to recover your file with Easy Drive Data Recovery software:

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
