How can I recover permanently deleted files on Windows 10?
I totally get the frustration of accidentally deleting important files—I’ve been there! The good news is, it’s not the end of the world.
I’ve personally used Aiesesoft Data Recovery, and it worked like magic to recover permanently deleted files.
I followed this tutorial: (worked for me)

It’s super easy to use, scans your drive thoroughly, and supports a wide range of file types. Just install it, select the drive to scan, and let it do its thing. It’s like a lifesaver when you think all hope is lost. Give it a try—you won’t regret it!
Eliseour You forgot to mention the basic modes of Windows File Recovery app. And this is very important for retrieving permanently deleted files on Windows PC. These modes are used for different recovery scenarios:
- Default Mode: For recently deleted files (NTFS file systems).
- Segment Mode: For files deleted a while ago, where metadata is partially available.
- Signature Mode: For recovering files from non-NTFS file systems, like FAT, exFAT, and ReFS.
Note: Windows File Recovery works best with NTFS file systems. For other file systems (like FAT or exFAT), use Signature Mode.
How to activate the segment mode? I'm trying to recover files from 2 months ago
