Can we recover permanently deleted files in Windows 10?
Hey everyone,
I accidentally deleted some important files on my Windows 10 PC and I could't be able to find them in the Recycle Bin. I’m wondering if there’s any way to recover them. I know Windows 10 doesn’t make this easy after files are permanently deleted, but I’ve read that there are a few methods and tools out there that might help.
Have any of you successfully recovered permanently deleted files in Windows 10 using these methods, or are there other solutions I should try? Let me know if you have any recommendations or tips!
Thanks
I once deleted some important files by mistake and couldn’t find them in the Recycle Bin. I tried Aiesesoft Data Recovery, and it helped me recover them easily, so I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot!
This tutorial worked great for me.

PS: Just make sure not to save anything new on that drive to avoid overwriting your files. It’s worth a try!

First thing's first—check the Recycle Bin. Seriously, it's the easiest way to get your files back. Just double-click that little trash can icon on your desktop and see if your files are chillin' there. If you find them, just right-click and select "Restore." Boom, they're back!
If you've got File History set up (and you should, if you want some peace of mind), you can roll back to previous versions of your files. Here's how to recover deleted files on windows 10:- Go to the folder where your file used to live.
- Right-click and select "Properties."
- Hit the "Previous Versions" tab.
- You'll see a list of earlier versions. Pick one that looks good and click "Restore."
- Do you have a backup of the deleted files? Please check the backup disk or cloud storage. If you are lucky enough, it is a simple task to recover permanently deleted files in Windows 10 from a local or cloud backup.
