Help Needed: How to Recover Permanently Deleted Files on Windows 11?
My kid logged in my Windows 11 PC and deleted a bunch of files from the computer. And unfortunately, they seem to be permanently deleted (not in the Recycle Bin). I haven’t created any backup or used...
I once deleted some important files by mistake and used Aiseeesoft Data Recovery to get them back. It worked really well, and I found the process super simple. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the same boat!
I found it here:

You can try these options.
Windows File Recovery (free from Microsoft Store) → Microsoft’s official command-line recovery tool.
Install: winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsFileRecovery
Example command:(This scans drive C: and tries to recover deleted files to drive D:)
winfr C: D: /regular /n \Users\YourName\Documents\
It takes some effort because it’s command-line, but it’s reliable and free.
