Active Directory does not directly store files like a file system. Instead, it manages user accounts, computer objects, and other directory information. Therefore, recovering deleted files within Active Directory is not possible.
If you've deleted files from a computer that is joined to an Active Directory domain, you can try recovering those files from the computer's local storage using data recovery software.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Backup: Regularly backing up your data is the best way to prevent data loss.
- File History: Windows features like File History can help you restore previous versions of files.
- Data Recovery Software: Several data recovery tools are available, such as Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Stellar Data Recovery.
Remember that the success of recovering deleted files depends on various factors, including the time elapsed since the deletion, the type of file, and the storage device.
