How to recover deleted files on your computer?

When it comes to my personal files, I am rather overly cautious and have therefore set up an oversized backup system. My files are backed up on a NAS (a network storage server) and this NAS is saved in the cloud! For nothing in the world would I want to lose 20 years of digital photos and other documents!

But if you didn't deploy the big Bertha and you lost files due to hard drive problems or simply because you did something wrong, all may not be lost !

Indeed, there is free data recovery software which will help you restore deleted files even in quite critical cases like formatting or virus infection.

This is because a file deleted from your computer is not really deleted! Indeed, when a file is deleted from your hard drive, it does not necessarily mean that it is no longer there. The space that was allocated to it on the disk and that was marked as occupied is now marked as free… and your system understands that it will now be able to write to this location and overwrite what was there before.
