How to recover data from a deleted partition in Windows 11 for free?

Hey! From what I’ve picked up and experienced myself, trying to recover data from a deleted partition in Windows 11 isn’t usually super risky if you’re careful. But there are some things to watch out for to avoid messing things up further.

First off, if you’re planning to recover data, don’t install recovery tools on the same drive or partition you’re trying to recover from. That can overwrite the data you want to save. Instead, use a different drive or an external one—like a USB stick or an external HDD—so you don’t accidentally write over the deleted partition.

Also, it’s a good idea to avoid doing any system updates or installing new software until you’re done with the recovery. Sometimes, even minor things can cause issues if the system writes to the disk during recovery.

In my own experience, I once tried recovering data from a deleted partition in Windows 11 and was super cautious—using a trusted recovery tool and working from a different drive—and it worked out fine. But I’ve also seen people get into trouble when they rush or aren’t careful, leading to permanent data loss.
