You can undo a delete on Windows using the Undo command or by restoring files from the Recycle Bin.
Undoing a Delete with the Undo Command
- The Undo command is available immediately after deleting a file or folder.
- Press Ctrl + Z on your keyboard to undo the delete action.
- This command only works for the most recent delete action.
Restoring Files from the Recycle Bin
- The Recycle Bin is a temporary storage location for deleted files and folders.
- To access the Recycle Bin, double-click its icon on your desktop.
- To restore a file or folder, right-click on it and select Restore.
- The restored file or folder will be placed back in its original location.
Understanding File Recovery Tools
- If you've emptied the Recycle Bin or haven't used the Undo command, you can use file recovery tools to attempt to recover deleted files.
- These tools scan your hard drive for deleted files and try to recover them.
- Some popular file recovery tools include Recuva and EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
Remember, the sooner you attempt to recover a deleted file, the higher the chances of success.
